Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

A pair of 18-inch mylar dampening rings that lay on the batter head to cut overtones. For drummers chasing a drier, controlled tone.

Strong match

Who this is for

  • Taming a ringy 18-inch floor tom or small bass drum
  • Studio takes where overtones smear the close mic
  • Testing dampening before committing to a muffled head

Consider the trade-offs

When to look elsewhere

  • Drummers who want open, sustaining, wide-open toms
  • Any drum that isn't 18 inches across
  • Hard hitters needing dampening that never shifts

What matters in use

The specifications, translated

Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.

Detail 01

18 inch

Sized to sit on an 18-inch drum. Ring diameter has to match the shell or it won't seat.

Detail 02

Two in the pack

Covers two drums, or leaves a spare for when one creases and stops sitting flat.

Detail 03

Rests loose on the head

Removable in seconds, so you can change how dry the drum sounds song to song.

Detail 04

Thin film ring

Adds almost no mass, so pitch stays where you tuned it. It shortens decay, not tone.

Detail 05

$9.99

Cheapest way to change a drum's voice without buying a new head or retuning.

Final check

Know before you order

  1. 01No drumhead included — these sit on a head you already own
  2. 02Ring diameter must match the drum; an 18 won't fit a 16
  3. 03Heavy playing can walk the ring off center mid-set

Product questions

Before you decide

Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.

01Do these work with any brand of drumhead?

Yes. They rest on the head surface rather than mounting to the drum, so any 18-inch drum with any brand of head works.

02Will this deaden the drum completely?

No. It shortens the ring and trims high overtones. The attack and the fundamental note stay.

03Top head or bottom head?

Batter side, on top. It works by contacting the head the stick strikes.

04How many rings come in the pack?

Two, both 18 inch.
