Snareweight Drum Dampeners - How They Work & Which to Choose

Snareweight dampeners are one of the most elegant solutions to snare drum tone control available. Rather than using adhesive gel pads or tape - which can leave residue and are difficult to reposition - Snareweight systems use neodymium magnets to attach a genuine leather pad directly to the triple flanged hoop of your snare drum. The leather pad rests lightly on the batter head, absorbing overtones and reducing sustain without deadening the drum or affecting the fundamental tone.

The key advantage of the Snareweight system is that it can be added or removed in seconds, repositioned around the hoop to fine-tune the effect, and leaves absolutely no residue on the drum. It works on any snare drum with a triple flanged hoop and is safe on all head types and finishes.

The Snareweight M1 is the more versatile of the two models. Its removable leather insert offers five distinct levels of dampening - from a very subtle reduction in overtones through to a more pronounced, controlled sound - by folding the leather to different positions. The patented clip and integrated magnets hold the system securely in place even during energetic playing. The M1 is available in a wide range of colours including Black, Brown, White, Purple, Lime Green, and Oxblood Red, as well as limited edition Pumpkin Orange.

The Snareweight M80 uses a fixed leather pad with two sides offering different dampening strengths. It is slightly simpler in operation than the M1 - flip it over for more or less dampening - and is a popular choice for drummers who want a straightforward, reliable solution without the adjustability of the M1. Available in standard, White, and limited edition Pumpkin Orange.

Both systems are made in the USA with genuine leather and are built to last.
