“These little buddies saved my 5”x14” Brass over Nickel DW Drums snare! I was getting super tired of my 6 and 2 tension rods constantly vibrating loose mid show... I was so close to replacing this road warrior of a snare due to this issue. Well, the problem has been resolved thanks to these killer Sleeved Washers by the fine folks over at Hendrix Drums!! Give their pages a follow and pick some of these up for yourselves! Total life savers!”
AJ Condosta - Hit The Switch / Guttermouth / Jughead's Revenge (USA)
“Hendrix sleeved washers are the product that I wasn’t aware I’d been waiting for...such a simple idea that so vastly improves tunability, stability and playability that it makes you wonder why someone hasn’t thought of this before!”
Casey Lewis - Belvedere (CAD)
“First time I used the sleeved washers, I put them on brand new heads. I was amazed on how well it kept my drums and especially my snare from de-tuning like most new heads do when you put them on.”
Chris Dalley - Authority Zero / Implants (USA)
"When playing live, the last thing any drummer has time to do during a performance is stop the show to tune. Hendrix Sleeved Washers remove the metal on metal contact and keep the drums in tune longer. I use these amazing washers on all of my drums, both on and off the road as well as in the studio.
Amazing concept. I wouldn't own a drum without them."
Chris Pottie - Jason Benoit (CAD)
“Sleeved Washers are a drummer’s (and drum tech’s) secret weapon…install them on your drum, and you can practically forget about having to constantly tune up drums in between songs, takes, and more. Focusing on a part of the drum that seems to often be overlooked or forgotten, yet is so crucial to getting (and keeping) “your sound,” Sleeved Washers are just what your drums want, sturdy construction, smooth response, and almost any color imaginable so you can truly make your drums an extension of yourself!”
Cyrus Bolooki - New Found Glory (USA)
“I was beyond stoked to receive my first bag of sleeves washers a bit ago and I can’t imagine life without them! Saving myself from having to tune up every single jam is a special bonus and anything drums is fun period. Get your kit dressed up with Hendrix Sleeved Washers Right Away. You won’t be let down”
Darick Sater - Night Birds (USA)
“ Sleeved washers rip!!”
Dave Raun - Lagwagon / RKL (USA)
“As a drummer, there’s nothing worse than having to adjust your tuning during a live performance. Especially for the hard hitters out there, you know that dreadful feeling of having a loose rattling screw on your kit in the middle of a set. Hendrix’s sleeved washers are here to the rescue with a simple solution that gets the job done! I’ve been using them on all of my drums for a few months now and they’ve been a tremendous help keeping my drums in tune when I need it most!”
Etienne Dionne - MUTE (CAD)
“Kick ass product with amazing colors to customize your kit!”
Frank Zummo - Sum 41 (CAD)
“3 shows in a row, and I literally did not touch a single tension rod, at all!”
Gordy Forman - Frenzal Rhomb (AUS)
"Sleeved washers are the reason I get out of bed in the morning. It's like 'Shrek is love Shrek is life' but for sleeved washers. Put em on your drums and you'll see."
Jarret Nathan - PEARS (USA)
"Until now, I would constantly lose bottom snare lugs and washers. Hendrix Sleeved Washers are a lifesaver."
Jim Margle - Counterpunch/Much the Same (USA)
“Sleeved Washers have really been a game changer, I am finding that the kit is staying in tune for much longer so I can get straight into playing instead of taking care of maintenance every time I sit behind the kit.”
Kye Smith - Independent Artist (AUS)
“If something keeps vibrating itself loose, you’d want more friction, more physical contact to stop that, right? Look at a normal washer. Now look at a Sleeved Washer. I’d wanna start with the one that has like twice the surface area, wouldn’t you?”
Matt Covey - Such Gold (USA)
“We’re all in pursuit of perfect tones right? Well guess what... accurate tuning helps that! Throw some sleevedwashers on your kit and see what they can do. I’ve been using them on both my live and studio kits and it’s been a noticeable difference in tuning. Way more consistent even at lower tunings. Stoked!”
Matt Yonker - Less Than Jake (USA)
“Hendrix Sleeved Washers are the coolest way to keep your drums in tune and looking rad”
Michael McDermott - Joan Jett and the Blackhearts (USA)
“Being a drummer that slams down a lot of rim shots, and a drum builder I have always been searching for better ways to keep my drums in tune. These HD sleeved washers are a simple yet effective way to make that happen. The plastic sleeved washers eliminate metal on metal contact. Metal on Metal may be your favorite Anvil song, but it’s a sure-fire recipe for a out of tune drum.”
Nick Angelini - A Wilhelm Scream (USA)
“I have been using Sleeved Washers since Punk Rock Bowling 2021 and have loved using them on my gear ever since! They are strong, durable washers that help keep my drums in tune and my gear in shape!”
Sam Mankinen - The Last Gang / Melted (USA)
"The Hendrix sleeved washers are a game changer for keeping your drums in tune while you are playing your drums like you hate them!!!”
Sean Sellers - Good Riddance / Pulley / The Mad Caddies / Beasto Blanco (USA)
“Originally, I wasn’t too sure how the sleeved washers would work, but after using them on a session I realized that I wasn’t touching up the tuning much where I hit the rim shot and on the bottom head of the snare. At that point, I was sold. Such an easy item to install and forget about. We have enough things to worry about as drummers!”
Tony Hajjar - Gone is Gone (USA)
“Sleeved washers lock everything into place, not only where it needs to be but also, where it needs to STAY! All grip, no slip, full on rip!”
Yesod Williams - Pepper (USA)
“I FINALLY got a chance to play around with the product, and so far I’m really liking them. I like how solid and smooth it feels when I’m tuning and making adjustments. I’m also finding that certain lugs that fall regularly during the course of playing aren’t falling as much, if at all. I’m still figuring out what they can do, but so far I’m very happy with the experience.”
