RootsEQ 14" Tone Control Snare Ring - Panda
The Roots Ring is designed to 'EQ' out unwanted harsh frequencies and shorten the sustain of your drums. Drop it on, and you've instantly got a warm, mellow, full and controlled tone. The snare model features a cutout area to make for better placement of the stick when playing rim clicks.
RootsEQ is the brainchild of Adam Topol, renowned L.A. drummer and solo artist and long-time studio and touring drummer for Jack Johnson, and Matt Smith, famed NYC based world-instruments builder. The list of artists using RootsEQ is long and star-studded, and for good reason: it's a brilliant product! Being fabric, there's none of the 'slap' or thinness sometimes associated with plastic-based products. They're easy to use, perfectly designed, robust and durable, ethically made in the USA and instantly satisfying to use.

The “Solid Ring”
The same custom manufactured memory wire outer hoop but with a cloth full covered inner circle of lightweight cotton fabric that will let you dampen the entire drum head to get the next level of dampening… the famous British “Tea Towel,” the funky concert tom, or that perfect low volume sound…no tape or slippery t shirts needed here.
