The Roots EQ Red Bandana is a drum dampening device designed to control overtones and reduce sustain on drums, particularly toms and snares. It consists of a metal ring covered with bandana-patterned material that is placed on the drumhead to achieve a drier, tighter, and more "tubby" sound, mimicking the classic "tea towel effect". Available in various sizes and made in the USA, the Red Bandana version provides a specific aesthetic along with its tone-controlling function.
What it is:
A drum accessory, similar to a Mylar ring or a damper, but with a bandana-style pattern and material.
It comes as a solid ring or a ring that fits inside a standard drum hoop.
What it does:
Dampens overtones: It reduces unwanted ringing frequencies from drums.
Shortens sustain: The device makes the drumhead produce a much drier and deader tone.
Mimics classic sounds: It emulates the "tea towel effect" popularized by drummers like Ringo Starr.
How it works:
The metal ring holds the bandana material under tension directly on the drumhead.
The fabric, being thinner than a full tea towel, allows some of the drum's natural tone to come through while still providing significant dampening
