Questions & Answers

Does it come with a certain number of gel pads?

As part of the package that I bought on 11/4/15, there were six pads. Despite the fact the package I received said "Bonus Pack, 2 Free!", there is no description of the quantity in the package. The normal pack should have four pieces, so I guess we are talking about

When washing them, how do you do it?

I don't usually have to wash my hands all that often with warm water, soap, and soapy soap

What happens to the sound when this happens? I play metal, so I was wondering if it would give the ride toms a short 'thud' like sound, like Rammstein?

I would say that the entire point of the experiment is to alter the sound (mainly the decay or resonance). It is the number of them you use and the distance they are placed from the edge of your head that produces the thud-like sound. Similarly, they can affect the sound and feel (stick rebound) of the drum head as well. Depending on your needs, I'd go with something that thumps more like a Remo Muff'l or RemOs, or maybe something that is oil-based The dual-compartment space is filled with There are two types of plywood To duplicate the effect, you would have to use a lot of Moogels.

What is the difference between a blue moon gell and a clear moon gell? Do they have the same shape and color, with just a slight difference in color? Thanks so much! ?

A variation of the same color

Authenticity and originality are absolute imperatives no substitutes are acceptable
5/5

It was much easier to handle the newer clear kind because they were smaller and a lot There are some new ones out there that I don't like nearly as much as these originals which I've You can use these on all of your drums and your cymbals, To find the right spot to place them, scan around using your finger. It's possible for two of them to work well at 120 degrees apart. You can put a hihat on the bell if you don't like the high whine a hihat makes on the cymbal. It is possible to cut these in half for less muting, as well as to align them radially Overtones are muted more in radial muting. However, there is one slight downside, their blue tint on your heads. However, putting them back in the same place is made easier if you need to when you remove them. Apparently, they retain their shape well when clean. Once cleaned, you can store the drum with them attached. It can be repositioned, but it is easy to do.

The clear gel seems to work, but what's the black stuff in it
3/5

This item was packaged in a way that I don't remember, but there was a seal that had to be removed. Throughout my photos you can see that the gel is full of black debris of various sizes and shapes. I think this was repackaged, or there were a lot of contaminants on the assembly line. It is merely a visual issue. br>This gel works exactly as designed in order to accomplish its purpose. Instruments are not part of my use of it. In my hands, I use it to clean turntable needles for a fraction of the cost of buying clean It is the expensive Onzow Zerodust, but it works very well. Moreover, I have multiple turntable stations and don't want to manually move the Zerodust around every time. In my opinion, this Moongel is softer than the Zerodust. I would have given it five stars if it weren't for the contamination. I have no way to find out what the history or manufacturing of this gel are.

Great stuff, thanks for posting! Are you familiar with those sticky gummi hand toys you used to get at the grocery store from the quarter machine? In a nutshell,

It is difficult to separate the pads from each other
4/5

This device is being used to clean phono cartridge styli and as can be seen with a USB microscope, it works well. It makes sense that they come packaged in a cute round container, sticking together like a lump of candy. It is extremely difficult to separate the pads from each other because they adhere very well to each After they are separated, they leave no dust or gunge on the stylus. Just keep cueing the stylus into the pad a few While this product is no better than the nearly $40 solution, it does a better job at cleaning than the magic eraser, as it doesn't come with a magnifying device or a single pad case. The Pros are This product is inexpensive and extremely effective for cleaning phono styli. The cons are They tend to make a mess when they come together and are.

Improves the sound of the drums significantly
5/5

Drumming has been on my mind for a while now. The Ludwig club date set I used to have as a child is still with me to this day. The sound was never really my cup of tea. This was made easier by my drum tuner, which I bought recently. It was still significantly subpar in terms of sound. With the built-in muffler in the set, the sound was reduced somewhat, but the pitch of the drum was changed and there was still too much resonance. As a result of these gel dampeners, I am able to turn off the muffler and get a sound I am fairly satisfied There is a slight delay in the This is still a club date set for 1966 I will be okay with it if and until I feel like splurging on a better model It has been set as the date.

There is a place for everything
5/5

If you want to dampen drum heads or cymbals, this would do just fine. As I say that, I bite my tongue a little to show that I mean it. The first thing I want to point out is that there is nothing quite infuriating to an audience as a poorly tuned drum head. With a properly tuned drum kit, you can hear the true and pure melodic voice. The goal of learning to tune your drums should be the objective of any drummer (experienced or novice). There is an easy method to learn the proper techniques and form your own sound in this age of digital media available like YOUTUBE and others. It is more comfortable for me to start with middle C and then move upwards. When I play this drum in the next set, I can play a Rock style sound just by changing the tuning The lower 3 lugs (a full turn on the right and left bottoms, 1 1/2 turns each on the left and right bottoms) need to be tuned. If you want to muddy it up just a bit, you can use moon gel. It has become apparent to me that experimentation is the key to good tuning and thus good playing, which brings smiles to the faces of those you are playing for. There's no doubt in my mind that I love moon gels, and I've used them before. A very good percussion instrument that is not limited to The bottom line is In short, I do recommend this product and yes, I will definitely purchase it again from this seller. One small note. Two pieces of my pack came with two free pieces, which caused these to stick together quite a bit. You should be careful to pull it apart step by step.

There are no words to describe how much my cats love them! Years ago, I tried these with a cheap kit, and they helped a lot A new kit with a lower cost was used
4/5

I tried the original blue but they stained my coated snares. This time I used the clear and they definitely stick together more than before. You just have to be patient and pull SLOWly All of them will come apart at the same time. Faith is the foundation of life. I love this. These seem to be thinner and squishier than I remembered them to be. Do not know if the clear is different from the blue, if the formula has changed over the years, or if my memory is failing. It doesn't matter how they are prepared, my cats love them! It's her pet's favorite to pull them off my drums in the middle of the night when I'm not looking. It has not yet been fully devoured, and they are not yet at full capacity Although it cost a bit more to remove and replace something that usually lasts for years with regular cleaning, I found it usually lasts almost forever.
