      I agree, I've used moongel and those exact same "bootleg" versions, much prefer the cheaper ones. Cant abide the moongels trying to attach to your fingers when you position them on the drum heads. I got blue gel stains too. Evans red gel is very similar to the bootleg ones (sticks well, not so tacky on the top surface), but it leaves a pink stain on the drum heads

      Had some good results extending the life of my moongels( brand or copy) by giving them a little wash and rince using room temp water and a little handsoap, even after falling of and getting all dusted and dirty, came back like new.

I've hated moongel since I first used it back in highschool so it's nice seeing so many others making a product far superior to the "industry standard." Also, I really dig the fact these ones are tacky on only one side. Huge plus for me

    Out of the bootleg items, I liked the moongels. The muffling on them were not as great as the actual moongels but not terrible (the same cannot be said about some of the other bootlegs lol). I also found the lack of staining to be a plus. Out of the non-bootleg items, I liked the Meinl ching ring as I think it’s a nice balance between price and performance. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I like the dumpening stickers the most, those knok offs were originally the gel stickers for shoes to protect the back of your feet:D I used to buy them for like 1$ for 30 pieces. In Poland we used them as bootlegs for moongels for many years. It's funny that finally someone noticed that and is selling them as drum dumpeners.
