Members guitarra Posted January 18, 2003 Members Share Posted January 18, 2003 Hey Guys. Anybody here ever use them? I bought some just to check them out, and I thought they didn't do anything. My drums all sounded the same with or without the moongels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dampen Posted January 18, 2003 Members Share Posted January 18, 2003 I use them and I like them a lot...I have 8, 10, 12, 14 toms. The Moongel is on the 10, 12 and 14.Moongel is great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dave Schenck Posted January 18, 2003 Members Share Posted January 18, 2003 I often use them live, since most live sound engineers these days can't deal with a wide open drum sound. I put one on each rack toms batter head about a 1/2" from the edge at the farthest point from me. On the floor tom I use one( sometimes two at the same distance from the edge and placed roughly 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock) and on the snare I'll use one from between a 1/2" from the edge to touching the hoop, I have a 5 1/2 x 14" snare that sounds almost like a metal snare when its wide open, which is great, but when I want it to sound like a gun shot I just throw on one gel and BLAMMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love these little blue gels (not Biblically of course. ), no more messy tape! ( Can you see the info - mercial?) And they are completely adjustable. They even work on cymbals. IMO these are designed to tame wide open well tuned drums. If your trying to use these to compensate for heads that are worn out or a lack of tuning experience then you may be slightly disappointed.

Members Warhead Posted January 19, 2003 Members Share Posted January 19, 2003 I find that properly tuned drums require little or no muffling. Then again, live sound for drums can be a bitch when a tom is ringing off the snare or kick... WHHUUOOMMPPP WHHUUOOMMPP Warren Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mopzilla Posted January 19, 2003 Members Share Posted January 19, 2003 moongel is great, but mostly for recording and live stuff. for practicing i like to have the drums open up to their best sound (i also have nice single ply ambassadors on them, great great sound) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gretschzildjian Posted January 20, 2003 Members Share Posted January 20, 2003 If you HAVE to muffle the skins, use moongel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
