Here at Music Gear Heads, we’re, as always, dedicated to shining a light on the often overlooked music-related topics. For maximum resonance control place one damper pad at 12 o'clock or 6 o'clock, and a second damper pad at 3 o'clock or 9 o'clock. Then a full piece between 10 and 11 o'clock on the resonant head, (looking down from the batter side). Today, we’ll try to tell you everything about this piece of drumming equipment using the least amount of words.

The really cool thing is that you can tailor what you take out of the sound by where you place the gel. If you place your Moongel pad more towards the center of your resonant head, will help you reduce the sustain even more.

That said, sometimes you need some muffling (live rooms, smaller bands), and for that, I adore moongels.

The manufacturer claims that unlike most practice pads they allow no "free rebounds", which is said to accelerate muscle development. Anyway, you can try out the following strategy: put 1/4 of a pad along the edge of your cymbal (ideally: a medium ride cymbal) and see what happens.Place them in different areas for different types of drum dampening– closer to the edge of the drumhead for less dampening, closer to the center for more.
