drumdots Mini Drum Dampener, 6-pack Clear

collapse expand iconDescription

Drumdots Original Drum Dampeners, 4-Pack Clear—the innovative drum dampeners that provide drummers enhanced tonal capabilities and playing versatility. Brought to you by the experts at Drumdots, these self-adhesive pads adhere securely to drumheads to instantly dampen overtones and reduce excess ring, resulting in a tighter, more focused sound with superior stick articulation. The ultrathin, low-profile dots are virtually undetectable to the audience, yet make a world of difference to discerning drummers seeking to refine their sound. The 4-pack includes dots in four different diameters to suit bass drums, toms and snares of all sizes.

Tighten Your Sound with Targeted Dampening

Drummers can strategically place Drumdots on specific drums or areas of the drumhead to eliminate unwanted overtones and tighten their overall drum sound. The dots come in four diameters—1", 1.5", 2" and 2.5"—to precisely match your drum sizes and dampening needs. Place larger dots on bass drums, medium dots on toms and smaller dots on snares to hone each drum's tone and improve stick articulation. Drumdots are ideal for both live performance and recording situations where control and clarity are paramount.

Virtually Invisible, Yet Highly Effective

Drumdots revolutionary design provides targeted dampening without marring your drumset's esthetic. At just .012" thick, the self-adhesive pads are nearly undetectable to audiences, ensuring a natural drum appearance, yet these ultrathin pads are highly effective at absorbing excess resonance and focusing tone. Drumdots proprietary adhesive backing securely bonds each dot to the drumhead upon application for consistent, long lasting dampening and is easily removable without leaving behind residue.

Refine Your Sound with Ease

Application and removal of Drumdots is a simple, do-it-yourself process using the included instructions. Each pack comes with an alcohol wipe for preparing the drumhead surface and ensuring strong adhesion. Start with just one or two dots to subtly control ring and overtones, adding more dots as needed to achieve your desired dampening effect. Drummers can experiment with different dot placements to refine their drum sound for any musical situation. When it's time to restore your drums' wide open resonance, the dots peel off cleanly without damage to the drumhead.

It won't mean a thing, if you still have that ring.

Grabbed these at the local store and took them home, popped them on both resonant side and one on the batter side to reduce the amount of ring for my TAMA Swingstar toms (12",13" racks & 16" floor). I thought it did quite well with dropping out the level of excess ring on the 12", which had a really bright tone to it with ring (around F or G# pitch). So I went with two under the resonant side about 1/3 way into the head, opposite of each other to see the results, sounded better, so I tried and added one on the batter side, about a couple of inches past a lug area next to the drum head head logo. I finally got it tweaked the way I like it. The 13" tom wasn't nearly as bad, but applied the same method (2 under/across from each other, 1 on batter side, next to logo) similar effect, it works. The 16" floor tom was another beast altogether, did the same approach but had to find a better resonant space on the bottom head to reduce the excess ring, used two about a 1/3 way into the resonant head, reduced it somewhat and it improved when I put one on the batter side, this time placing it further into the batter head (about 1/3 way in, away from my normal stick strike zone) and that seemed to clear most of the ring/overtones I was getting with that floor tom. If you ask me, well worth the money to get your sound right. Those hard plastic boxes they come in won't last too long out on gigs, but we'll see. Overall, good stuff!

    They work great to dampen your snare drum, toms or cymbals. They don't leave any marks and are reusable.
