Snareweight M80 magn. Overtone Damper Br.

The Snareweight M80 magnet-based drum dampener is a game-changer for drummers who value both convenience and quality. While it may seem relatively costly at first glance, this little accessory is worth every penny, delivering performance and practicality in equal measure.

Gone are the days of relying on those small blue gel pads that inevitably get dirty, lose their adhesive, and mysteriously disappear on dark stages just when you need them most. The Snareweight M80 offers a reliable alternative, snapping onto your drum's rim with ease and holding firmly in place thanks to its magnetic design. It does its job beautifully, controlling overtones without completely deadening your drum's natural resonance.

Another standout feature is its adaptability in shared backline setups. Unlike gel pads or tape, the M80 doesn’t leave any residue or mark on the drumhead, making it a drummer-friendly option when playing on someone else's kit. It’s simple to add and remove, ensuring you can enjoy its benefits without compromising the equipment.

In summary, the Snareweight M80 is a thoughtfully designed, durable, and effective solution for drum dampening that addresses common frustrations with traditional methods. It's an investment, sure, but one that drummers will appreciate every time they set up for a gig or a session.

Really great dampener for the snare. Leather just hast a warmth and fatness that I can't quite explain. Having magnets that let you adjust the dampening, or flip it up completely, is really useful for changing the snare sound between songs. I also find that it works great on ringy 12-14" rack toms. Can be a little hard to get onto the rim, but at least I know it's not going anywhere! Also, the connection of the metal components to the leather seems rather weak and I was worried that it might come off, but I really haven't had any issues so maybe it's just in my head? All in all it's a great product at a fair price given its real leather.

Modulable grâce à son système aimanté je l'utilise sur une Sonor Artist Snare. Je recherchais au départ plutôt un "jingle" en métal -non disponible chez Thomann - mais pas facile à trouver, car je suis plutôt anti-moongel ou autres sourdines... qui au final étouffent littéralement le son. Pour moi une batterie est là pour "sonner "et c'est au batteur à adapter sa frappe pour ne pas nuire aux autres membres du groupe.
Bref, ce Snareweight est super bien conçu et utilisable aussi sur les Toms en cas de besoin.
Seul petit inconvénient le prix = un peu fort pour un "morceau de cuir"...
