Description
Overview
The SlapKlatz Mini provides drummers with a professional, high-precision solution for managing unwanted ring and overtones. Designed in Denmark, these gel dampeners allow for immediate control over drum and cymbal resonance without sacrificing the natural tone or the playing feel of the instrument. Whether you are looking to tighten up a snare drum or reduce the sustain of a cymbal, these gels offer a versatile, non-permanent way to fine-tune your sound in seconds.
Key Details
- High-Adhesion Material: Developed with a specialized adhesive formula that ensures the pads stay securely in place, even when applied to bottom heads or the underside of cymbals.
- Precision Engineering: The size and thickness of the Mini gels are the result of extensive testing to ensure the optimal balance between dampening power and tonal preservation.
- Reusable Design: These pads are fully washable with soap and water (air dry only), allowing you to maintain their adhesive properties over time.
- Professional Endorsement: Trusted and used by world-renowned percussionists including Benny Greb, John JR Robinson, Tony Royster Jr., Anika Nilles, and Gergo Borlai.
Use Cases
- Snare Tuning: Quickly eliminate harsh overtones and “ring” to achieve a focused, punchy studio sound.
- Tom Control: Reduce excessive sustain on rack and floor toms for a cleaner mix in live environments.
- Cymbal Dampening: Apply to the underside of cymbals to shorten decay and control wash.
- Rapid Adjustments: Ideal for drummers who need to tweak their sound on the fly between songs during a performance.
Installation
Installation is instantaneous and requires no tools. Simply peel a gel pad from the case and place it directly onto the drum head or cymbal surface. To fine-tune the sound, you can move the pad to different positions on the head or add multiple pads to increase the amount of dampening. When no longer needed, the pads can be easily removed without leaving residue.
Compatibility
The SlapKlatz Mini is compatible with all types of drum heads (coated or clear) and all cymbal alloys. They are suitable for use on snare drums, tom-toms, and various percussion surfaces.
