The Snareweight snare drum dampener with leather delivers expressive control over your sound. You'll experience the versatility of dialing in the perfect amount of dampening for your playing dynamics with the 3/4-pound solid brass construction, leather insert and neodymium magnet. The dampener is designed for metal triple-flange hoops, adding mass to smooth lower-mid ringing while preserving your shell's tone. With about 2–3dB of compression, you can achieve optimized recording levels and a focused presence in the mix. Simply slide the Snareweight dampener around the hoop until you find the ideal dampening sweet spot as you play.
