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 02
18-inch sizing
Sized to an 18-inch bass drum. It will not seat correctly in a larger shell.
Detail 03
Internal system
It works inside the drum, so nothing hangs off the batter head or shows on stage.
Detail 04
Dave Weckl design
Built around a specific approach to bass drum tone control rather than a generic strip of muffling.
Detail 05
Reusable hardware
Unlike tape or gaffer, it comes back out and goes back in without residue on the head.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Fits 18-inch bass drums only. Measure the shell before ordering.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fit my 22-inch bass drum?
No. This is the 18-inch version. Match the muffling system to your bass drum diameter.
02Do I need to remove the drum head to install it?
Yes. It is an internal system, so you take off a head to fit it, then retune the head afterward.
03Can I still use a ported front head with it?
Yes. It works inside the drum and does not depend on whether the front head is ported.
04How much muffling does it apply?
That is up to you. The system is adjustable, so you can run light damping for sustain or increase it for a shorter, drier note.
