Sound Percussion LabsSPA06 Bass Drum Felt Muffling Strips 2-Pack

The Korena take
Two felt strips that sit against the bass drum head to tame ring. For drummers chasing a shorter, drier kick sound.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Cutting overtones and sustain on a boomy bass drum
- Recording sessions needing a controlled, tight kick
- Cheap alternative to buying a pre-muffled head
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drummers who want their kick open and resonant
- Anyone needing muffling for snare or toms
- Players wanting a drop-in pillow with no head removal

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01How do I install felt muffling strips?
Loosen the tension rods, lift the head off, lay the strip across the shell so it presses against the inside of the head, then reseat and retune the drum.
02One strip or two?
One strip gives light damping and keeps some resonance. Two strips, or one under each head, gives a shorter, drier note. Start with one and add if it still rings.
03Will this work on my snare or toms?
These are cut for a bass drum. On smaller drums they are oversized and awkward, so use a muffling ring or gel made for those sizes.
04Do they go under the batter or the front head?
Either works. Under the batter head it shortens the attack side; under the front head it controls the resonant ring. Many drummers run one under each.
