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.
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.
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.
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.
