    The moon gel knock off was easily the best one out of the bunch. I was really surprised at the durability through the heat test. The Ludwig snare is also really solid and sounded as good as it looks🤌

    I liked the fake moongels and your experiment. It’s very true that moongel fall apart and are unusable after dust and grime. Don’t drop them on your drum rug either! Really appreciate your info! 🏆

      Had some good results extending the life of my moongels( brand or copy) by giving them a little wash and rince using room temp water and a little handsoap, even after falling of and getting all dusted and dirty, came back like new.

    My favorite is the moongel knock-offs. Ive never been completely on board with moongel and have switched to using snareweights instead but seeing how much better the knock-off ones are I would use those as well. 👌🏻

  • @MatthewArnold.
    @MatthewArnold. 9 місяців тому +8

    The knockoff Moongel was really impressive for the price. It is really smart to have one side not be sticky. Also the strong hold on the fake Moongel was cool too.😇

    The Moongel product didn't surprise me. I have been using another brand that looks a lot like your "knockoff" brand, and it's far superior to Moongel in every way imaginable.😊

  • @Maiden666jefe
    @Maiden666jefe 9 місяців тому

    @pRK747 9 місяців тому +4

    Personally I’m a fan of the cheaper made moon gels, 1. Because you’re getting more gels compared to the RTOM ones and they’re still a similar size. 2. The option you can get multiple colors choice for these is always fun to see. 🥁🥁

  • @jeffmarcom4252

  • @user-gr9kv9ty8f
    @user-gr9kv9ty8f 9 місяців тому +5

    I have a ton of history with moongel knockoffs (thanks in large part to you and "Mr. Star" 😂). I've hated moongel since I first used it back in highschool so it's nice seeing so many others making a product far superior to the "industry standard." Also, I really dig the fact these ones are tacky on only one side. Huge plus for me

    Honestly the moongel knockoffs really surprised me. I’ve seen that listing a dozen times, but I’ve never tested them. I always thought “well it’s 30 for $9, they can’t be that good.” Thank you for testing these! 💫

  • @coopdog7394
    @coopdog7394 9 місяців тому +5

    Out of the bootleg items, I liked the moongels. The muffling on them were not as great as the actual moongels but not terrible (the same cannot be said about some of the other bootlegs lol). I also found the lack of staining to be a plus. Out of the non-bootleg items, I liked the Meinl ching ring as I think it’s a nice balance between price and performance. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I like the dumpening stickers the most, those knok offs were originally the gel stickers for shoes to protect the back of your feet:D I used to buy them for like 1$ for 30 pieces. In Poland we used them as bootlegs for moongels for many years. It's funny that finally someone noticed that and is selling them as drum dumpeners.
