Meinl Drum Honey MDH

Meinl Drum Honey MDH - Warmth, Sweetness, and Tone Control in a Sticky Disc

Honey by name, honey by nature. The Meinl Drum Honey (MDH) is a set of sticky, jelly-like dampening discs that inject warmth and sweetness into your drum sound by reducing overtones and unwanted ring. Place them on drumheads or cymbals, hear the difference immediately, and peel them off whenever you want the natural sound back.

They'll make your snare fatter and tighter, give your toms enhanced focus and faster decay, and tame cymbal wash - all without leaving any residue on your drums.

Key Features

• Reduces overtones and ring - dampens unwanted sustain on drums and cymbals for a warmer, more focused tone
• Works on drumheads and cymbals - versatile enough for the entire kit
• Completely non-toxic - safe for use on all drum and cymbal surfaces
• No residue - peels off cleanly without marking or damaging heads or cymbal surfaces
• Reusable and reactivatable - wash with soap and warm water to restore the self-adhesive properties when they lose their stick
• Colourful design - easy to spot and reposition on the kit
• Model: MDH - Meinl Drum Honey standard

Where to Use Them

• Snare drum - fatter, tighter sound with reduced crack and ring - ideal for keeping the snare controlled during intimate performances or recording sessions
• Toms - enhanced focus and faster decay for a more defined, punchy tom sound
• Bass drum - reduce boom and tighten the attack
• Cymbals - tame wash and reduce sustain for a more controlled cymbal sound in the mix

The Reactivation Tip

Over time, Drum Honey pads can pick up dust and lose some of their stickiness. Unlike most dampening products, they can be fully reactivated - simply wash them with soap and warm water, allow to dry, and they'll be as sticky as new. It's a small detail that makes a real difference to the long-term value of the product.

MDH vs MDHA - Which Should You Choose?

• Meinl Drum Honey MDH (this model) - standard single-size pads, ideal if you know the size you need or want to start with one format
• Meinl Drum Honey Assortment MDHA - 12 pads in three sizes (6 small, 4 medium, 2 large) - ideal for treating the whole kit with different levels of dampening on each drum

Who Is It For?

• Studio and recording drummers - controlled, focused tones sit more cleanly in a recorded mix
• Live drummers in intimate or reverberant settings - keep drums and cymbals on a leash without affecting the fundamental tone
• Any drummer who wants quick, reversible tone control without permanent modification or expensive head changes
