      Good thing about these is that you can get larger sizes, for cheap at a Dollar Store, and cut them.down as needed.

    hot glue will do a decent job at muffling although it's not as quickly removed or replaced.. it is a decent solution for muffling a drum and you never have to worry about loosing or cleaning your gels. it can be removed with a knife quickly just don't puncture your heads in the process.. Dave, great videos! thanks so much for all that you do! keep it up!

  • @ManuFortiMcCoy
    @ManuFortiMcCoy 8 лет назад +1

    I like that you cut them down by square size. I was thinking you would go by weight using a kitchen scale. Since the Gel Clings are more dense, I would assume, they would dampen more, compared to a a Moongel of equal size.
    I have used a pack of sticky Ghosts, that I grabbed at a gas station (they were more than $1, but, ..... their ghosts), that I keep in my fix it kit; unfortunately they do not glow. I also have some Sticky hands, they are a little easier to find and not seasonal.

    The dog bone is my personal favorite! Great idea BTW.....but gaff tape is my go to. I get the best and most consistent sounds that way. And the tuning on the heads lasts literally years on my studio kits. I can’t stand moon gels. They have not been able to outperform gaff tape on any level IMO. 1 roll of Gaff for 1 drum set can last you a couple years. Plus when removing layers I just stick it back on the roll. It also looks cooler.....grittier. Anyway. Great idea!
