Great dry snare sound - better than gels
Absolutely love this for my snare, definitely prefer it to moongels or tape. It provides the perfect amount of dampening of overtones without muffling the snare too much. Gives you a great clean sound, really easy to mic or record, as well as a less ringy noise in smaller venues. It's also great as a quick fix for terrible-sounding rehearsal space snares.
Apart from the change in sound, you don't notice it's there at all. I've had some problems with moongel flopping around or coming loose, but this ring just sits flat on your head and stays there. I also prefer the clean look of a transparent ring.

I have the set, 10 12 14, and 13 inch snare. These rings really bring out the mid range and lower frequencies of any drum, by removing the high frequencies, but still retaining good resonance. You do have to use care, because they are thin. Thomson has a good price on these, so replacement is not a problem. I have been gigging for three months with mine, no problems.

Useful and good price
I use this on my snare to get a muffled, but not too muffled sound that still has high frequencies. Sits flat and doesn't rattle against the rim. With this price it's a no-brainer. Easy and very fast to use. There is a sicnificant difference between 1", 1,5" and 2" versions, and I have them all. If they break some day I will order new ones.

A must for every drummer
Not much to explain about these.
Use these and gel pads, experiment, sometimes you'll need the one, sometimes the other, sometimes both.
But you won't need to tape your skins anymore.

Inexpensive Sound Booster!
Love these. Use one (sometimes 2) on an LM402. They sound fantastic. There are no cons. They are fantastic. I would highly recommend them.

Just what was needed
I used the E-Ring on my snare drum in what seemed to be a difficult room, sound-wise.
The annoying overtone/s were immediately cut which was amazing for such a simple product. The ring is also very lightweight and so easy to fit or take off.
I've yet to find a really good way to protect them when not in use though.

Reduces boing
This E-Ring just takes the sharpness off a snare drum, especially when close mic'ed.

Clear Sound!!!
Bought this for my snare drum and been really pleased!
Sounds amazing for live & studio use and got rid of the ringing & overtones!
Makes the snare sounds 10 times better but still need good tuning!
Affordable and must-get!
I've always taken time tuning my drums but this is truly a godsend! One has to be careful of not bending it but it's long lasting and of great quality!
Only Pros for this as I can't fault it and amazing from Thomann.
Clear as day :)

Great sound
I like this 1" ring as it takes away enough of the overtones without completely deadening the head.
I play a brass snare, and it can be quite lively. I've found this E-Ring controls it just enough whilst retaining the tone of the drum. Tidier than loads of tape too!

Evans E-ring
I was first shown a similar damping ring in the studio thirty year ago- back then we used to make our own from old drum heads.
They work very well.
