The Ahead Pro Kick Bass Drum Damper Pads are four self-adhesive silicone damping pads for the bass drum. The transparent gel pads are simply glued to the drumhead or reso and compress the low frequencies of the drum. They also focus the attack and amplify the natural sustain without affecting the airflow inside the shell, as would be the case with a pillow. The Ahead Bass Drum Mutes have a smooth and a ribbed side, so they can be used for different fur surfaces. A renewal of the adhesive effect is simply achieved by washing off the pads.
