Description
Overview
The SlapKlatz Mini 6 Gel Pads with Case provide drummers with a professional, discreet solution for managing unwanted ring and overtones. Designed in Denmark, these high-performance gel dampeners allow for precise control over drum and cymbal resonance without sacrificing the natural tone or the playing feel of the instrument.
Engineered for maximum versatility, SlapKlatz gels are developed with an extremely adhesive formula, ensuring they remain securely in place regardless of where they are applied. Whether you are fine-tuning a snare drum in the studio or managing tom resonance on a loud stage, these gels offer a fast, non-permanent way to achieve a focused sound in seconds.
Key Details
- High-Tack Adhesive: Specially developed gel material that stays put on drum heads and the underside of cymbals, including bottom heads.
- Tone Preservation: Effectively removes harsh overtones while maintaining the essential character and response of the drum.
- Washable & Reusable: Gels can be cleaned with soap and water (air dry only) to restore adhesiveness and extend the life of the product.
- Professional Endorsement: Trusted and used by world-renowned percussionists including Benny Greb, John JR Robinson, Tony Royster Jr., Anika Nilles, and Gergo Borlai.
- Portable Storage: Includes a dedicated case to keep the gel pads clean and organized during transport.
Use Cases
- Snare Drum Tuning: Quickly eliminate “ping” or excessive ring to get a fat, punchy snare sound.
- Tom Resonance Control: Tame overtones on rack and floor toms for a cleaner mix in live environments.
- Cymbal Dampening: Apply to the underside of cymbals to shorten decay and reduce wash.
- Rapid Adjustments: Ideal for drummers who need to tweak their sound on the fly between songs without using tape or permanent muffling.
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 the underside of a cymbal. To fine-tune the sound, you can easily move the gel to different positions on the head or add multiple pads to increase the amount of dampening. When the gel becomes dirty, wash it with mild soap and water and allow it to air dry completely before reusing.
