Top Picks
How to choose
Choose a topper based on how much dampening or texture you want.
Beginner
A beginner can start with the Auto-Tone Snare Drum Topper to tame a ringy snare and learn how dampening changes tone. Try playing with and without it to hear the difference clearly.
Intermediate
An intermediate drummer can experiment with the Snare-Bourine Snare Topper for extra character in specific songs and swap between toppers during rehearsal. Keep toppers stored flat to avoid warping.
Expert
An experienced player can carry several toppers, including the Snare-Bourine-Donut, and choose one based on the room or recording setup. Test in soundcheck since the effect depends on the snare's own tuning.
