Be careful not to slap the head with the fingers thus producing an unwanted extraneous sound. Instead, try to lay the fingers gently on the head. A quick roll of the fingers in rapid succession, making contact with the head one at a time, can help minimize the slapping sound. Some also find it useful to use a sweeping motion across the surface of the head to minimize contact sound. Press just firmly enough to stop the sound, but no harder. In soft passages it may even be possible to dampen by pressing lightly with only one finger.

When possible it is best to play with one hand and dampen with the other hand. However, there will be many occasions when one must dampen with the same hand that struck the drum (see photo A), as well as occasions when one will have to muffle two drums simultaneously (see photo B). Often two drums must be muffled even though only one drum was struck, to prevent the drum that was not struck from vibrating sympathetically.
