Snareweight M80
After years of continuous development with the patented solid brass Snareweight #1, 2, 3, and 4, we are now proud to present the NEW Snareweight M80 (medium to heavy dampening), the perfect “starter” damper and the newest member of the Snareweight family. The M80 is engineered to control the resonance without sacrificing the brightness of the drum. One M80 has 4 different dampening settings: mild, medium, , heavy and off. Remember the M80 fits any snare drum size;(8″,9,10,12,13,14 etc.) It also presents some weight on the head (more than tape, plastic etc) which helps shorten the low frequency decay while keeping the drum bright and real. Dampen in a snap or disengage even faster with the on/off feature. If you want a dead drum, this one is NOT for you. Works with triple flange hoops, die cast, s-hoops, angel hoops, true hoops, brass hoops, 1/4″ wood. Leather thickness does vary between 1.5mm to 2mm.

This simply clips onto your hoop and is easy to adjust from there One of the newest Snareweight products, the big brother to the original M1. The M80 delivers natural dampening while moving with the drum head. It has several positions which increase or decrease the dampening depending on how you fold it using the magnet system. This simply clips onto your hoop and is easy to adjust from there. It is made of leather, my other leather drum accessories have lasted for many years. I have vintage drums, some with skin heads so I don’t like putting sticky, gummy…
So good that I bought a second one. Other types of products deaden the head too much and therefore kill responsiveness. I love the fact that you can adjust it by folding it back over to the metal in the middle (magnets on the ends, metal in the middle). Only complaint is that sometimes it doesn’t ‘stick’ and flops back over to be fully flat while playing. I think I could bend it more or put pressure on the bend point, but haven’t thus far since it only occasionally happens.I plan to buy these for my other drums…
I grew tired of having to either buy moon gels over and over again, or try to clean the ones i have. As a professional drummer, I’m also looking for more versatile and permanent solutions. The M80 is one of those versatile, permanent, and I dare say perfect solutions. For snare drums, it provides just the right amount of dampening (in my opinion). I like that there 4 different amounts of muffling available from this one product- and changing the amount is super-quick (important when trying to…
