RootsEQ Solid · White (10"-18")

The RootsEQ Solid is the one for that vintage, tea-towel, Ringo sound. Where the Ring leaves the middle open, the Solid has a full cloth centre of lightweight cotton across the whole head, so you get the next level of dampening: the famous British "tea towel", a funky concert tom, or a low-volume sound, with no tape and no slippery T-shirts. It drops on and lifts off in a second.

It uses the same custom memory-wire outer hoop as the Ring, so it keeps its shape, adds the right weight to the head and stays put. This is the classic white finish: no fuss, timeless vibe.

Sizes: 10", 12", 13", 14", 15", 16" and 18". Sits on top of the batter head. Hand crafted in the USA.

Which RootsEQ?

Want to leave the middle of the head open? See the Ring. Working on a snare? The Snare Ring has an open gap for buzz rolls, and the Flappy uses lighter, looser fabric. Prefer leather? Have a look at the Snareweight M1 and M80. The whole range is in the RootsEQ collection.

Adam Topol, a Los Angeles drummer who toured with Jack Johnson for more than fourteen years, started RootsEQ with drum maker Matt Smith to fix a simple problem: T-shirts sliding off toms mid-song.
