Moongel Damper Pads (Pot of 6)

So many good reviews I had to try them out and I'm suitably impressed.You get 6 of these little sticky pads in a tub. I had a nightmare trying to separate them out, they were so tightly stuck to each other. I thought I was going to tear them to pieces getting them unstuck, but they proved far more resiliant than I was expecting. Plopped one on my snare, one on each (of 3) rack tom and two on the floor tom. At first they didn't seem to want to stick down that well, but they haven't moved in over a week, so I guess it just took a few minutes for them to get used to their new homes.They certainly took out some of the excess ring, but they're more subtle than I thought they'd be. Certainly more so than the old favourite trick of TP and duct tape. My toms are pretty well-tuned and so these are ideal at just killing that little extra ring I couldn't quite get rid off. The toms make a nice pleasing round tone now, which is especially noticed when recording. If you need more dampening than what these provide, I'd suggest your drums ain't tuned that well!The best thing for me is their size - they're really quite small, only 1½" x 1", so they take up very little real esate on your drum head, so you still have lots of choice as to where to hit your tom. They do seem quite good at collecting sawdust and dandruff, but they're washable so that shouldn't be a problem.I wasn't sure how well I'd like these, but they do the perfect job and at this price, it's a no-brainer really.

My snare drum always sounded great with a lot of bite, but unfortunately at that tuning there was always a nasty ring that resonated long after it had been hit.One piece of moongel stuck firmly on the side of the drum and the ring has gone! Adding more pads dampens the ringing further but that's the great thing about moongel - it's utterly customisable: You can cut them into pieces and stick them anywhere you want to get exactly the sound you need.These do a fantastic job at dampening, and not just on snares. My lower two toms (14" and 16") have a lot of rumble but with a moongel each they now sound much fatter and tighter which is exactly what I wanted. They also work surprisingly well on cymbals - cutting out all the sizzle and higher frequencies and lowering the decay time by a large amount.Overall, these are absolutely fantastic. They're infinitely customisable in their usage and they're very effective.

I purchased this pack of moon gel for my phantom 3 standard to combat the dreaded "jello" effect in my videos. I had recently damaged my gimbal vibration absorbing board, so when installing the new one, I thought now's the chance to try out this product. This gel is supposed to work wonders eliminating unwanted resonance with instruments, and its relatively cheap stuff. The substance is really easy to work with, and I cut a few pieces with scissors to fit the shape of the board (see pics). In use, I think the Moongel did make a difference, it didn't eliminate the "jello" effect 100% but it did improve my video footage. I should add that I did balance my props and I did put some of the remaining gel inside the rubber dampers. I've got some ND filters on the way, so I'm hoping that's the final fix.

This is the second set (I have another spare set) of these I have bought, and they are fantastic. Simply put one on the tom tom skin near the rim and they cut away all those unwanted overtones! Being a gigging musician, I have found them so useful for quick fixes to your sound if you find yourself playing drums in a small venue or a room with echo issues. They do get dusty due to drumstick shedding, but you just wash them in warm water and they come back sticky again. I would say My pot of Moongels has become as important as remembering to take sticks. Love them, and I can't recommend them highly enough. Simple, easy to use for pro's or beginners - gotta love that. :D

well, there's not 4 in the pack but 6 - so there's enough to dampen both heads on all 3 toms!! very lovely effects acheived very quickly and easily! VERY sticky....i was worried that they wouldn't seperate - but they did just fine! ...easy to cut into smaller pieces if desired (use scissors!) i have acheived the sound i've been looking for - at last! I took my time in setting them up, ended up sticking them to the inside of each head - out the way and beautifully effective! Highly recommend. 5 stars!...one happy drummer :D

I've been using these for a few weeks now and they're awesome. They're super sticky and soft,I have my drums in a pretty big room so I tend to get a lot of ring from them but these really let me control that ring without totally losing sustain. Although I don't think theyre great for cymbals as they seem to cut all the brightness out, leaving the cymbal sounding a bit dull and lifelessBut for the shells themselves I'd highly recommend them

SO to start off these gels have not actually been to the moon (although this is disputed), and despite how tasty they look they are in fact NOT edible. They do however do an incredible job of dampening a snare! Because I sometimes use a kit in a studio and not my own, I've found that they are surprisingly re-usable despite this not necessarily being a design intention. I'd fully moon-commend!

these are a must for any drummer. even if there are times when you may not need any, as soon as you want to muffle a bit the overtones, these are the perfect choice. in some occasions I also placed them on cymbals to reduce an annoying sustain: worked perfect. the possibilities are endless and the price is ridiculous. not to mention that they are endlessly reusable. what else? buy them, without regrets!
