... Now I know who my drumming ideas are a par with!!!!!A couple years ago, I saw Dennis Chambers at the Baked Potato and he had a moongel on his ride. You can't see it in this photo, but it was there.

Has anyone tried Meinl's Drum Honey? They're brass colored so the stain won't show.

Just no. No tape either. Cymbals should breathe. If you have to put tape on a cymbal, you should have bought something else.
I tried these but found they are so sticky that I have trouble placing them on my drums because they stick to my fingers so much it’s hard to get them in place at a gig. They work fine at home where you have time to get them in place.Has anyone tried Meinl's Drum Honey? They're brass colored so the stain won't show.

Haven't tried those on cymbals, but on drumheads they do leave discoloration.But I do what Bermuda does and buy closeout window clingies when I see them at dollar stores.
The only ones I’ve had discolor a head so far is red, but I do try to watch for it on all of them. I don’t use them on cymbals anymore, though I reserve the right to do so.Haven't tried those on cymbals, but on drumheads they do leave discoloration.
I've used clear moongel on my ride on occasion.
I will use it on a ride to dry it out a bit if needed when recording. Never felt a need on other cymbalsWas doing a rehearsal with a new cymbal and it was a little too lively. I had some moongel to hand so for a laugh I put one on, and problem solved.
Not the ideal solution I'll grant you but anyone else do this?
So, I bought a package of these at Daiso, $1.75 for 6 small "inserts" (each one a little smaller than 1 moongel). I've tried it on a snare (dried it up a bit) and also on 1 ride cymbal so far (I removed a strip of blue painter's tape underneath and stuck on 2 inserts underneath in place). They do stick very well and appear not to leave any residue, although I haven't left them on long enough to see if any residue will remain. For the time being, they're another inexpensive alternative to moon gels and will probably serve me well when I need to taper off any ringing, or soften an attack on a drum/cymbal. I wouldn't hesitate to use them going forward. Definitely recommend getting a package for your gig-kit or practice accessories, a quick fix or mod, when needed.I'm going to check those out at my local Daiso, assuming they're still in stock

And, unlike the inexpensive window clings at Dollar Tree or Daiso, these won't fall off, curl or lose stickiness too quickly (my experience with the clings) since they have an adhesive on the bottom.
