SLAPKLATZ DAMPER GEL PADS

SLAPKLATZ - THE TINY GEL PADS HELP YOU FIND THE BEST SOUND IN YOUR DRUM

The perfect sound unfortunately does not come ready to go out of the box. Especially heads are profoundly a matter of taste - thick, thin, coated, roughened, double- or single-layered, usually every percussionist has his own little bag of tricks which he uses to optimise sound. Nice to know that there is a bunch of small and easy helpers that we sambistas can rely on. Bye-bye sticky DIY duck tape solutions - the Slapklatz gel pads are removable, reusable, easy to clean and stick to most drum head surfaces.
