Nice to have, but could be better
Look, if you need some rings for your toms for cheap and you're good at maintaining your equipment, then go ahead and snag yourself a set of these. If you're like me and you have a hard time paying for things that you could make yourself from some old tom heads an Xacto knife, these are a good compromise.
I have to say, my first 14" ring that I put on my kit was bent out of shape and buzzy after one rogue hit on my floor tom. The 10" and 12" rings do their job pretty well, but they still don't really like to "grab" onto the head like some other rings do.
So to sum it up, my opinion is this: It's a reasonable, cheap solution for some quick tom muffling. But... if you're serious about your sound and you don't want to have to worry about buzzing from the rings, then just spend the extra $5 for some E-rings. There's simply no comparison.

Just like the "original"
These rings works like they should. Dampens the volume and eliminates overtones. They seem to be some millimeters smaller than the originals but it does not matter when it comes to the function. Good value for money!!

Did The Job!
Did exactly as advertised.
I used them to mute my toms in the studio, worked like a charm.

Does the job.
Easy and cheap way of reducing overtones. We know rings work, so these particular rings are just the cheapest way of using dampening rings, short of making them yourself. A bit roughly cut, but doesn't hinder the sound. Transparent.

Good cheap set.
Good ring set.. i ended using 3 of these on our drums at church.
Got rid of unwanted frequencies.
The one i used on a snare got bit bent after first session with a band (maybe the drummer hit it with a stick).
Will see how they hold up the weekly bashing.
