Remo Muff L Ring Control 

Comments about Remo Muff L Ring Control:

Seems to work better on bigger drums such as base and floor toms. Rack toms were way too muffled and choked out.

Comments about Remo Muff L Ring Control:

These are a must for a bass drum. I have been using them for years. Gets rid of the ringy overtones and adds a little more low thud. They are ok for toms but will kill the pitch, I recommend the dead ringers that just lay flat on the heads if you have ringy toms.
My only two complaints are; the foam falls out with heavy use when mounted on the bass, easily remedied with a little double stick tape or light glueing.
Number two: the plastic ring will break from over tightening the bass hoop but it usually takes at least a year or more.

My drums sounded like expensie tin cans with these on. I took them off and threw them away.
On a side note, they work pretty good on my bass drum.

Comments about Remo Muff L Ring Control:

These rings. Oh my these rings. I just want to rave about them for days. Although these say they are produced by Remo, they are really created by god himself. God has his little Remo Muff L Ring Control workshop and he builds these just so he can show his love to us drummers.

If you like Punchy, Bassy, overtone-less, studio sounding drums, then these are for you.
....
Even if you don't want that, buy them anyway because you must not know what amazing drums sound like(;
I've been playing drums for 3 years and have been looking for a solution to the bad overtones coming out of my off-brand drum kit. A friend showed me these rings and I played a bit on his kit (which he had the Remo Muffle Rings on each of his toms) and I was amazed at the sound coming from his (he has an off-brand kit as well) drums! It sounded more like a studio kit than anything. I ended up buying these for my 13" tom and 16" floor tom and I'm basically in tears - they sound so good!! You would never guess my kit was an off brand kit from listening to these toms - Punchy, Bassy, and with no added overtones. These rings are highly recommended - I can assure you that if you buy these there is no way you can be disappointed! They're magic!
As many others have said, the plastic ring is a little bit shady but they should hold up seeing as how they are under your drum head and surrounded by foam so there is little to no chance of them breaking. And if they do, they're dirt cheap so just buy another one! hahah

These rings are from god.
This goes without saying, but they are such a good deal! These Remo Rings make your kit sound amazing and it's the easiest thing to install ever and if you have clear drum heads they look siiickkk!

They sound great. Just need to fix the problem with the kick
Makes the drums I have put these on sound great
Not sure how long these will last, the tray seems like it may not last too long...BUT, I have had no problems with that yet. The only problem I have had with this is the one I put in my bass. The foam comes out of the tray. No problem with the one I put in the floor tom. Guessing because the floor tom lays flat and the bass is vertical. I will be ordering more for the toms to see how they work all the way around, but probably won't be buying anymore for the bass if the problem doesn't correct somehow
I like the cheap price. Wouldn't pay a ton for these due to the cheaper plastic tray

just got these and some ec2 coated heads and they sound amazing the rings take out all the over tone and give the head a really punchy and short sound def worth the money. if your thinking about getting them get em!!!!

I've been playing for over 25 years and have always had a pillow stuffed in my bass drum. I just replaced my 22" bass head from a Remo Pinstripe to a Remo Coated Ambassador and placed the Remo Muff L ring on the batter. I tuned the batter head about medium tension and the resonant head loose to achieve the fat low end sound. I put a small pillow back in the drum and it sounded awesome. Then I took the pillow out and it sounded even better! If you are looking for a thunderous bass drum sound that will cut through the band pick one of these up for you bass drum. My band noticed the difference right off the bat that the back beat of the bass drum was fatter and deeper and they loved it as well. You'll still get a very nice tone from your bass, but no ring and it is a breeze to install. I can compare it to the sound of John Bonham's bass drum. No more pillows!!!

I can't say I am exactly a hard hitter, and I use a single ply head on my kick. I use a 20x22 and it sounds incredible. Some complain about how it can completely dead the sound, and if that is a concern of yours, make sure your resonant head is tuned properly, because you can still achieve amazing overtones and still dampen your batter. Great sound, I would recommend to anybody.

Comments about Remo Muff L Ring Control:

These are great dampeners. You can use just the plastic tray without the film to get slight dampening, or you can use the foam to get as much dampening as you want. And if the plastic is not enough, but the foam is too much, you can just cut out some of the foam to adjust it. I only use this for my bass drum (because they look kind of tacky), and it makes my bass drum sound phenomenal. I had a pillow in it before and it sounded alright, but once I put this in, I was blown away. It feels a little different to play the bass drum with it on. I don't know why this is, but you get used to it quickly. The only complaints I have is that adjusting it takes a long time (removing heads and taking out foam over and over to get the right sound), so if you got to a show in a venue or area where you needed more resonation, either deal with it how it is, or hurry up to take it out and try to tune it up well with the time you have. And my only other complaint is that it doesn't look very flattering in your toms if you use clear heads as I do. Nobody really notices it in the bass drum, though.

I put this on my floor tom to kill all the junky overtone. I have a worthless first act drumkit and now it sound like a ludwig!!! I would highly recommend this for toms that have a long annoying overtone. I am mad that this site doesn't offer more sizes. But other than that, if Remo's control rings cant kill the overtone, these will.
