They don't taste that great!!!
I use RemO's. Haven't tried the Moon Gel, yet, but I will soon!
I use 'em, I love 'em. The only problem, is that they get real dusty and wood chips from sticks get stuck to them. This isn't really a major problem, but it loses their stick, which can be easily solved by washing w/ cold water and hand soap, then their good as new!.

I carry em in my stick bag in case I need them, but have rarely used them. When I have volume concerns (specifically playing in a smaller church) I generally use damping rings and focus on volume control when I play.

Never used them but i've always heard good things from those that do

I only play at home and they help. I actually put them on top of e-rings. one on the small toms and two on the 16. 4 and a ring on the top for the snare and I can play along with the blues on the tv/stereo and not overpower it.

Nothing beats gaffa tape!
Moon Gel is good when you need just a little dampening. It stays puts, doesn't shift nor gets tangled with the drumstick. You can customize it by cutting into smaller pieces. Non-toxic, easy to use, easy to carry and washable too. I use a piece, if needed, on my floor tom to lessen the resonance just a bit.

I like them, it's so easy to move them around and they look much better than duct tape or black tape. I even use them on the cymbals.

Tried 'em and didn't like them. Over time they leave blue sticky residue on your drum heads. At the moment I use no external muffling at all, it's like those remO's and Evans E Rings, they leave your drums sounding completely dead

Just tried them recently and I like them.

I have a few containers of MoonGel around here. I mostly use it on my snares just to dampen them a bit when needed. And a little soap and water does make them new again!

Well, you could try JELL-O...comes in a variety of colors, about the same consistency as the Gel and better tasting, too! Just kidding with you. Not everyone is going to like dampening their drums. I don't care for that either. However, I use a 16" floor tom and it does get a bit rambunctious and the Gel helps to calm it down.

I haven't tried moon gel, I use Evans E-Rings on my drums.

never leave homw without it.

I guess what I don't understand is, if I'm using them, why would I remove them? They are going to stay put until I replace the head. Maybe that's why the residue never bothered me.
I just checked the container and I see it's on there and after seeing it realized I had noted that before but all I can say is, when you get to be my age you
