I purchased this to go in my Rogers snare drum with an abundance of overtones, it sounded horrible. My friend has a pearl with this inside it and a remo head. I purchased this muffler and put the same exact remo head and it sounds better than his. This muffler takes a lot of overtones out. The only downside, is the fact mine did not come with instructions so i had to use my mechanically inclined skills to install it.

These mufflers work good enough to not buy another. Install them right & they work. If a standard ring on a shell is 1" wide overall, Butt a tape measure into the bottom of your top ring & measure down 1" & 1-1/2" drill the right size holes & install, one thing you need to know is, the small screw they send in the kit (bottom screw) is not long enough,YOU DO THIS YOUR SELF.Don't drill holes in your toms unless your sure it will work, and after they are in, the metal that holds the pad is flexable enough to bend up tighter on the head if needed. Measure twice & drill one time,It"s your drum set. The dampeners work for me. Good luck friends.

The drumset that I use at youthgroup has this on the snare and the toms and it make them sound amzing. It sounds really good with remo pinsrtipe heads on the toms and a remo ambassador on the snare. nice product.

This is a very well made muffler, and it's holding up pretty well thus far, but I'm a heavy hitter, so we'll see! My one problem with it is that the spring arm should be a lot stronger, it has "memory" when you tighten it up all the way, and you're best to leave it once tightened up; this won't hurt the arm, as its metal seems to be quite soft. I wish someone would make a stouter muffler with a stronger arm. But it works.

I just got this about a week ago, and i thought it was pretty cool, but i didnt really like the fact that when my snare was tuned kind of low that i lost a lot of the sensitivity. But today when i tuned the batter head up higher, and got the muffler on, it sounded so amazingly beautiful!! my snare seriously sounds like the same one that Chad Smith of Red Hot Chile Peppers uses! dont even consider getting this. do it. You will be glad you did. My snare drum has the perfect crack and attack ive been wanting for about a year. i almost got a new one, but not anymore!! thank you so much pearl!!!
