SNAREWEIGHT M1b Black Drum Tone Control Damper Dampener, the ORIGINAL, Made in USA

The end of MoonGell and duct tape. This is a great invention. Some rooms make it impossible to not add something to a snare drum to dial it in. This solves a lot of problems. 3 different levels of muffling and you can flip it into an off position without taking it off. I have them on all of my snares and even added them to my toms just in case. The black leather will leave a mark on the drumhead if that is a concern for you. I love it and woulkd recommend to any drummer.

I was skeptical. I mean, how many muffling products do we need? I always have a roll of gaff tape and a package of Moon Gel handy so why would I need this? I dont in all reality, but I'm glad I have it. This is a very well-made ingenious product that is easy to use. I love that you have four different options with the Snareweight. I feel like it helps save time vs. cutting a gel or tape, adding more gel or tape, etc. Get one, especially if you do studio work where time is of the essence and the producer or engineer want different sounds on the fly; you'll be glad you have it.

Not a fan of muting my drums at all. I would rather choose the right head and keep the drum open. For my ear, beats Moon-Gel or Zer-o Rings hands down. To my ear, they change the fundamental characteristics of the drum sound, making it flat and dead, taking the material you chose for the drum shell out of the equation. I've never made them work to my liking. But these are different. They don't deaden the drum and allow it to breathe while killing some overtones and ringing. Very pleasing to my ear and sound sensibilities I rarely use it, but I'm happy to have it.

It's a little smaller than I imagined, but works perfectly! It removes the unwanted overtones and snare buzz without the snare sounding choked or muffled. My snare was just sounding a bit harsh when hit off-center, but this eliminated the problem. It has a similar sound to the old wallet-on-the-snare trick, but doesn't choke the drum as much as a wallet. On the technical side of things, the leather is too small and too thick to use the magnets to fold in a side or fold the whole thing up - but I don't care about that part because the sound is just right with it all down and flat. Overall, I'm really happy with it and would highly recommend it.

I like this product. Easy to install and versatile. Just flip it up to turn off. Plus you can fold in the sides for 3 different levels of Dampening. The overall dampening when both flaps are down is minor. Tooo expensive IMO.

I love these things. Bought one for each of my tom drums and two for my snare. I've tried every kind of muting -- various kinds of tape, zero rings, towels. I've found that these work the best by far. The M1b is great -- it doesn't provide as much dampening as the other snareweights. I actually prefer a little bit of the ringing overtones on my snare, they allow for the snare to be a little bit more sensitive, both acoustically and touch, so the M1b works great for this purpose. It's also nice to be able to adjust it on the fly.

It's a neat product! Installs and uninstalls super easy, provides really tasteful dampening to focus on the punch of my snare rather than the lingering overtones that bleed throughout my kit in a mix. No nonsense, works exactly how a rational thinking person would assume it works. No complaints!

These are perfect for eliminating unwanted ring on metal snares. Using one on a Ludwig 14 x 6.5 Supraphonic and brass 14 x 5 black beauty. They work great without choking out the batter heads too much.

Genial, tut exakt was es soll und hält bombenfest

una semplice sordina di plastica giro giro sul rullante fa più meno lo stesso risultato prezzo esagerato x quello che fa . batterista con 20 anni d'esperienza .

These are excellent but are ridiculously expensive. Won’t be long before the Temu catch on!!

倍音がミュートされているようです。 違う型番で幅のあるものがありますが、本製品と幅のあるものとの中間の幅のものがあっても良いかな、という印象です。 また、もう少し安くなるともっと普及するかと。

Where to start... I’ve been a user of Snareweight’s products for a few years now. It started with a Snareweight #4 that I ordered on a whim, looking for a quick solution to taming snare drums on gigs where there is a house drum set or back line kit. I was thrilled when I first tried it as it’s super fast to apply, very versatile with its different inserts and it doesn’t choke the drum out. It’s very rare that I play without it now. A couple of years later I ordered a few M1s to use on toms. I was looking for something that wouldn’t leave grease marks all over the skins (Moongel) and was easy to apply and take off. The M1s were perfect with the magnets that allow you to adjust how much dampening you want. Again, they didn’t choke the drums out, they just took the edge off of the high overtones on the toms. Fast forward again and I’ve just ordered and received a set of the M1b’s, and they’re fantastic. A little more beefy and a little more surface area than the M1s, they again take the edge off of the overtones just right. I played a gig today with them on some deeply tuned toms (13, 16, 18) and they worked beautifully. I get comments everywhere I go about how great the drums I’m playing sound, and that’s largely attributed to the Snareweight products I’m using all the time. They are invaluable in allowing me to fine tune drums wherever I’m playing. Mat provides some of the best customer service around and the quality of workmanship is second to none.
