Essential Information About the RTOM Moongel Super Dampening Gel (Pack of 6)

  • Immediate control of harmonics and resonances on snare drum, toms, and cymbals, without muffling the instrument's character
  • Ultra-simple positioning: places, moves, and adjusts in seconds according to the desired level of dampening
  • Versatile "Super" version: also usable under resonant heads and under cymbals for a more discreet effect
  • Washable and reusable: retains its self-adhesive properties over time, with a carrying case included

Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

Having become a staple in drum tuning, Moongel has established itself as a quick and reliable solution to tame harmonics, both in the studio and on stage. Known for its simplicity and effectiveness, it is one of the most used accessories by drummers seeking a cleaner, more controlled sound without permanently altering tuning or head tension. The Super Moongel version takes the concept further with additional placement options designed to enhance discretion and fine control.

Who This Dampening Gel Is For

The RTOM Super Moongel is aimed at all levels, from beginner drummers wanting to fix an overly "ringy" snare to advanced drummers refining their tuning to the millimeter. It is particularly relevant for styles where clarity and control are paramount: pop, funk, gospel, variety, modern rock, metal (short and precise toms), as well as in studio settings where every unwanted resonance can become intrusive on the microphone.

Features and Innovations

Self-adhesive, the gel is placed directly on the batter head, on a cymbal, or on certain percussion instruments to reduce excess harmonics. The advantage of this Super version is its ability to be positioned under the resonant head and under the cymbal: an ideal choice if you want to keep the kit's aesthetics intact while maintaining effective control. The adjustment is gradual: by moving the gel toward the center or the edge, you modulate the dampening and note length.

Sound Characteristics

The Super Moongel does not "change" your drum sound; it clarifies it. On a snare drum, it helps reduce metallic sustain and refocus the attack for a cleaner, easier-to-mix sound. On toms, it shortens the note and limits unwanted harmonics while preserving the shell's body. On cymbals, it tames harsh frequencies and stabilizes the wash, useful for controlling an overly dominant crash or an excessively bright ride.

excellent for toms, indeed but also on cymbals! placed on the bell of a ride, the moongel significantly reduces the overly long sustain. it also muffles quite a bit of the harmonics if placed on the edge of the bell. placed on the edge of the cymbal, it completely mutes everything and the ride cymbal becomes a kind of jazzy flat ride: in short, many possibilities for studio recording and it avoids the glue marks from gaffers on the cymbal. on the snare drum, it's also really effective, a more discreet effect than a remo o'ring: you can better manage the desired harmonic level, with one, two, three moongels depending on the type of shell and heads. for example, on my 14x5.5 metal, with evans genera heads, i placed two moongels on the edge of the heads facing each other and i still keep harmonics in drum position. they also wash very easily. only regret, the flashy blue color is quite ugly on white heads: when will there be differently colored moongel versions (black, white, cream)? that would be really nice! quickly: wwodbrass, need to restock the supplies! ;)...

it's incredible...! I really didn't expect that. at first, the sound of my toms wasn't great but as soon as I put them on, it was much more acceptable. if you want mutes, don't take the rings, they work much less well

Very useful for "killing" excess harmonics, the advantage is that you can dose by putting, for example, 1/2 moongel to remove a bit of harmonic or 2 moongel to remove almost all harmonics!

Simple and effective! Greatly improves the sound in no time. The effect is radical on the snare drum and the high and medium toms. Less effective on the low tom as far as I'm concerned.

I used to use adhesive tape on my skins before having the moon gel, you really feel the difference, a more muted sound and no marks on the skins, I recommend it 100%

The irreplaceable Moongel. It's discreet and very effective for eliminating the ugly sounds of the toms. I also use it to soften my cymbals and it's very effective.

Before I had round attenuating gels from another brand but after a few weeks they were already dirty. With these ones it's much better since we can wash them!

Very practical, efficient but you have to take care of them if you want them to last.
