Description
Overview
The SlapKlatz Pro Refillz provide a professional-grade solution for drummers seeking precise control over their instrument’s resonance. These high-adhesive gel dampeners are engineered to eliminate unwanted ring and harsh overtones from drums and cymbals without compromising the natural tone or the tactile playing feel of the head.
Developed with a focus on versatility and durability, SlapKlatz gels are designed to stay exactly where they are placed, even in high-vibration environments. This refill pack ensures you have a fresh supply of Alien Green dampeners to maintain a consistent, focused sound across your entire kit.
Key Details
- High-Tack Adhesive: Specifically developed gel material that ensures dampeners stay secure on drum heads, including bottom heads and the underside of cymbals.
- Tone Preservation: Engineered to remove ringing and overtones while maintaining the core character and response of the drum.
- Washable & Reusable: Gels can be cleaned with soap and water (air dry only) to restore adhesive properties and remove dust.
- Professional Pedigree: Trusted and used by world-renowned percussionists including Benny Greb, John JR Robinson, Tony Royster Jr., Anika Nilles, and Gergo Borlai.
- Visual Identification: Provided in a high-visibility Alien Green color for easy placement and removal.
Use Cases
- Snare Drum Tuning: Quickly dial in a “fat” or “dry” snare sound by adjusting the number and position of the gels to kill unwanted sustain.
- Tom Resonance Control: Reduce excessive ring on rack and floor toms to create a cleaner mix in live or studio environments.
- Cymbal Dampening: Apply to the underside of cymbals to shorten decay and control wash.
- Rapid Sound Adjustment: Ideal for session drummers who need to change the sonic profile of a kit in seconds between songs.
Installation
Installation is instantaneous and requires no tools. Simply peel a gel pad from the sheet and press it firmly onto the drum head or cymbal surface. For fine-tuning, you can move the gel to different positions or add multiple pads to increase the amount of dampening. To remove, gently lift the edge of the gel; the material is designed to leave no sticky residue behind.
