Drum Gear Damper Ring

About Drum Gear's Damper ring

With a Drum Gear damper ring, you'll instantly round out and soften your snare drum sound the moment you place the ring on the drum.

Sonically, the dampening eliminates all the overtones from the drum, making the sound rounder and slightly reducing the volume.

If you're playing in small spaces, maybe with hard walls, the ring can be a bit of a lifesaver.

Sound like Steve Gadd

You might recall Gadd's classic awesome snare sound from the '80s and '90s. That sound was precisely achieved by Steve Gadd using such a dampening ring.
