It removes easily and doesn't leave a sticky residue behind, nor does it stain drum heads like Moongels do. I used gaff tape for a long long long long long time because why spend money on moon gels that just lose their adhesion and melt in your Tom Tom case. I dont dampen at all either, but i can understand people wanting to as i guarantee these are people who never take there drums out of the house and have strange accoustics or just simply want to make the drums not so loud(for the room there in)or they like dry attack with little resonance. Before delving deeper into the mesh that’s our today’s subject, let’s first define the most important term we’ll use in this text.Moongels are a sticky, jelly-like substance that can be easily attached and removed, and can be cut to any size. Once you’re done, your Moongel drum pads will look similar to the way they looked back when you bought them.

It's great for when I use my 18" tom as a bass) It's great because you can just take them off, move them around, etc. Sounded quite a bit better, but still had the ringing over tone no matter how I tuned it (I used Tune Bot). Rings are another effect as well, attenuating the harmonics that live at the edge of the head, and accentuating the funamental punch.

If you dont llike the sound of drums dampened thats fine but there is no need to bag on people cause they dampen there drums. If you use two floor toms having "Happy Birthday" on one and 'Champ' on the other would be magic for any top drum cam shots. Tolerance will reach such a level that intelligent people will be banned from thinking, so as not to offend the imbeciles. RTOM also makes Moongel Workout Pads, which are practice pads that are available in 7" and 14" diameter sizes.

For minimum damping, just cut one pad in two, or bend it against the rim allowing the second half of your pad to touch the head. Today, we’ll try to tell you everything about this piece of drumming equipment using the least amount of words. For instance, if they want a less dampened sound, they’ll stick the Moongel closer to the drumhead’s edge. Worth noting that there is a difference between gel as a damper, and a napkin/kleenex pad held on with gaff tape. A fault is defined as a defect that you would not normally expect to occur through normal wear and tear and that has not been caused by improper use.Before you put them to dry out, you’ll want to re-wrap the board you’ve used earlier with a fresh piece of plastic wrap. Every drummer's been in the same situation - there's an annoying ring on one of your drums and you can't get rid of it 5 minutes before you play.
