    Does anyone recognize my RB drum head covers/silencers?

    I feel stupid for even needing to ask this question, but...

    Long ago on my Wii drum kit I owned the official RB drum silencers with the Rock Band logo and the peel-and-stick backing. They were ok.

    When I switched from Wii to Xbox I went looking for new silencers (I didn't want to peel off the used ones and lose their tackiness). I found some, I think at Gamestop. They're one solid color and when you put them on the kit they look like this:

    These silencers use NO GLUE. They are a solid piece of some some kind of rubber with a form-fitted edge that snaps around the edge of the drum heads. You can peel them off and snap them back on repeatedly. When you peel them back they look like this:

    I would love to have a spare set of these for myself (though I've been using them for close to two years now and they show almost no signs of wear) and a few sets for friends with RB kits. These things are amazing, but I don't have the packaging any more and there's no branding stamped on them, so I have no idea how to find them. Does anyone else have a set of these, or seen them in a store or online somewhere? Do you know who the manufacturer is and whether you can still order them?

    Those look like exactly what I need.

    Yeah, they're awesome. I have a feeling that if anyone can answer my question a horde of watching forumites will stampede toward the source....

    Well Google and Bing got me nowhere. Hopefully someone can find them.

    I might get myself a set of those to replace my Xcells. Things have done their duty beautifully but they have taken a beating.

If those are the right thing I'll probably immediately order three more sets for people I know.

    I've had those 'official' pads now for about 3 years now and they sure do last if: you remove the silver ring and wrap some self-stick felt on your stick tips. Also 3-M spray glue will do the trick to reset the pads if need be.

    UPDATE: That's the right thing. Tons of thanks to MMB for tracking them down. For anyone needing drum silencers/protection for an RB2 kit, I give these things my highest recommendation.

    Nice Find but what about ....

    I would really like a set of the Official RB drum silencers.

    They fit the Ion Drum rocker pads perfect and mine are starting to show some signs of wear and tear.

    If anyone knows where to purchase these let me know.

    Last ones I saw were listed on Ebay for final bid price of 27.00 + 3.00 shipping.

    I think when at the stores these were about 19.00 + tax

    I sure would like to get a set if they are still available.

    Thanks.
