Rtom MOONGEL DAMPERS PADS (X6)

Description

Essential Information About Moongel Dampening Gels (Pack of 6)

  • Instant control of harmonics and resonance.
  • Self-adhesive gel, repositionable and washable.
  • Use on drumheads, cymbals, and percussion instruments.
  • Includes carrying case, made in the USA.

Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

World reference for harmonic control, Moongel has been praised by the specialized press, notably ranked in 2012 by DRUM Magazine among the most significant drum innovations. Made in the United States, it has established itself as a standard in studios and on stage.

Who This Accessory Is For

For beginner, intermediate, and professional drummers seeking a cleaner kit live, in rehearsal, or recording. Ideal for rock, pop, funk, metal, gospel, jazz, and styles where controlling sustain and "ring" is desired.

Features and Innovations

The self-adhesive gel is applied on the batter head, cymbals, and certain percussion instruments. The Super Moongel version also allows placement under resonant heads and under cymbals. Washable, it retains its adhesion for a long time.

Sound Characteristics

Placed near the rim, the pads subtly reduce harmonics while preserving attack. Toward the center, attenuation increases for a more focused sound and shortened sustain. When stacked, they provide even firmer control. On cymbals, they tame the "wash" and accelerate decay for enhanced definition.

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.
