      I agree, I've used moongel and those exact same "bootleg" versions, much prefer the cheaper ones. Cant abide the moongels trying to attach to your fingers when you position them on the drum heads. I got blue gel stains too. Evans red gel is very similar to the bootleg ones (sticks well, not so tacky on the top surface), but it leaves a pink stain on the drum heads

    • @dconvergadon5281
      @dconvergadon5281 11 месяцев назад +1

      Had some good results extending the life of my moongels( brand or copy) by giving them a little wash and rince using room temp water and a little handsoap, even after falling of and getting all dusted and dirty, came back like new.

  • @94rtbaker
    @94rtbaker 11 месяцев назад +1

    the moongel experiment was my favorite. I've been using them for years and witnessed them breaking down the same way, even without exposure to harsh elements. Thanks for always making great content rdavidr 🥁🥁🥁

  • @MatthewArnold.

    The knockoff Moongel was really impressive for the price. It is really smart to have one side not be sticky. Also the strong hold on the fake Moongel was cool too.😇

    Personally I’m a fan of the cheaper made moon gels, 1. Because you’re getting more gels compared to the RTOM ones and they’re still a similar size. 2. The option you can get multiple colors choice for these is always fun to see. 🥁🥁

    @conorreedR2C 11 месяцев назад +5

    I have a ton of history with moongel knockoffs (thanks in large part to you and "Mr. Star" 😂). I've hated moongel since I first used it back in highschool so it's nice seeing so many others making a product far superior to the "industry standard." Also, I really dig the fact these ones are tacky on only one side. Huge plus for me

  • @user-gr9kv9ty8f
    @user-gr9kv9ty8f 11 месяцев назад +5

  • @coopdog7394
    @coopdog7394 11 месяцев назад +5

    Out of the bootleg items, I liked the moongels. The muffling on them were not as great as the actual moongels but not terrible (the same cannot be said about some of the other bootlegs lol). I also found the lack of staining to be a plus. Out of the non-bootleg items, I liked the Meinl ching ring as I think it’s a nice balance between price and performance. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I like the dumpening stickers the most, those knok offs were originally the gel stickers for shoes to protect the back of your feet:D I used to buy them for like 1$ for 30 pieces. In Poland we used them as bootlegs for moongels for many years. It's funny that finally someone noticed that and is selling them as drum dumpeners.
