Vater VBUZZ Buzz Kill Dampener Gel

Control your drum sound with precision using this versatile gel dampening system that tackles unwanted overtones and excessive ring. The Buzz Kill system offers musicians an easy–to–use solution for fine–tuning their kit's sonic character, with the ability to cut pieces to size for customised dampening levels in both live and studio environments. Its super–tacky formula adheres securely to batter and resonant heads alike, providing reliable performance that won't shift during play.

The Extra Dry variant brings additional weight and mass to the formula, making it particularly effective on larger drums and perfect for achieving that sought–after funky, super–flat snare sound. Cymbal players will appreciate how it drastically reduces wash and overtones, creating dry, articulate stick definition that's especially noticeable on ride cymbals. The reusable nature means you can clean it with water when needed, making it a cost–effective addition to your percussion toolkit.

Vater officially launched in November 1991, though the family's drumstick heritage stretches back decades to their humble beginnings crafting bespoke items in the basement of Boston's legendary Jack's Drum Shop. Operating from their Holbrook, Massachusetts headquarters, the company now produces hundreds of different models and counts world–renowned drummers like Chad Smith, Stewart Copeland, and Josh Freeze among their endorsers, all while maintaining their simple goal of producing the finest drumsticks and percussion accessories available.
