SlapKlatz
Gel Dampers
SlapKlatz gels, which are easily placed near the edge of the top or bottom drumhead, provide a simple solution for controlling overtones. Each pack contains two small and two large gels, in one of two colors, alien green or clear. By being applied to the surface of a shell, the gels can double as a bumper to stop drums from knocking into one another.

The Calabria tamburello is manufactured with a Skyndeep graphic drumhead and an Acousticon shell that’s made from recycled wood fiber.

Two versions are available, one with a pre-tuned drumhead and one that’s tunable and features a Mylar underlay ring to add bass tone. Both models are 2.5×12. The pre-tuned Calabria lists for $122.95, and the tunable model is $159.95.
MXL
PA-5K Drum Microphone Kit
MXL’s PA-5K three-piece kit includes two A-5t tom microphones and an A-55 Kicker for the bass drum. The A-5t is a high-SPL cardioid that’s said to have excellent rejection and a warm and punchy tone that complements the toms. It features a durable metal body and an adjustable, pivoting rim mount. The A-55 Kicker is designed to deliver the deep, low-end punch of bass drums, as well as bass cabinets, congas, and other low-frequency instruments. It includes a built-in mic clip. The list price for the PA-5K is $199.95.
Outlaw
Church Pew Drumset
Outlaw takes wood from old buildings and structures or any other timber that is no longer used and turns it into one-of-a-kind drums. This method of using recycled wood isn’t just environmentally friendly; it also allows the grains of the timber to tighten up with age, making for a beautiful look and unique sound for each drum. Recently, when Gillionville Baptist Church in Albany, Georgia, was in need of drums for worship services, Outlaw took an old pew from a church in that state’s Calhoun County and turned it into a drumset.
