Overview
The SlapKlatz Mini provides drummers with a professional, versatile solution for controlling unwanted ring and overtones. These high-performance gel dampeners allow for precise tonal shaping across drums and cymbals without sacrificing the natural playing feel or the core tone of the instrument.
Engineered for maximum adhesion, SlapKlatz gels are designed to stay exactly where they are placed, making them a reliable choice for high-energy performances and studio recordings. Whether you need to tighten up a resonant tom or kill the sustain on a crash cymbal, these mini pads offer a discreet and effective way to refine your sound.
Key Details
- Extreme Adhesion: Developed with a specialized adhesive formula that ensures pads stay secure on drum heads and the underside of cymbals, including bottom heads.
- Optimized Geometry: The size and thickness of the gel have been rigorously tested to provide the ideal balance of damping power and tonal preservation.
- Reusable Design: The gel material is washable with soap and water (air dry only), allowing you to maintain stickiness and extend the life of the pads.
- Professional Pedigree: Trusted and used by world-class percussionists including Benny Greb, John JR Robinson, Tony Royster Jr., Anika Nilles, and Gergo Borlai.
- Portable Storage: Includes a dedicated case to keep your gel pads clean and organized during transport.
Use Cases
- Taming Overtones: Quickly eliminate harsh ringing from tom-toms or snare drums to achieve a punchier, more focused sound.
- Cymbal Control: Apply to the underside of cymbals to reduce sustain and shorten the decay for tighter rhythmic patterns.
- Bottom Head Damping: Securely attach to the underside of resonant heads to control low-end boom and sustain.
- Studio Recording: Use for rapid sonic adjustments during tracking to ensure drums sit perfectly in the mix without needing permanent modifications.
Installation
Installation is straightforward and non-permanent. Simply peel the gel pad from its storage case and press it firmly onto the desired area of the drum head or cymbal. For the best results, ensure the surface is clean and free of dust or oils before application.
To refresh the adhesive properties, gently wash the pads with mild soap and water, then allow them to air dry completely before returning them to the case.
Compatibility
- Drum Heads: Compatible with all standard drum head materials and brands.
- Cymbals: Safe for use on all cymbal alloys and finishes.
- Application: Suitable for use on top heads, bottom heads, and the underside of cymbals.
