A rotor stage (100) of a gas turbine engine (10) comprises a platform (120) from which rotor blades extend. The platform is provided with a circumferentially extending damper ring (200), the damper ring having an engagement surface (210) that engages with the platform. The damper ring has a cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the circumferential direction that has a depth (a) in the radial direction, and a neutral bending axis (250) that is spaced (b) from the engagement surface by more than half of the depth. Increasing the spacing between the engagement surface and the neutral bending axis increases the amount of slip at the interface between the damper ring and the platform, thereby increasing the amount of frictional damping.
