Snareweight V1 Vegan Leather & Chrome

Snareweight presents the Vegan Leather Model V1. It is weighted with a 3.5 ounce (100 gram) chrome body, a magnet, felt, and strong vegan leather. Keep the good ring and get rid of the bad.

It dampens somewhere between the M1b and Brass #5 model it is the right amount of weight to get a dampened, full of tone, drum sound.

Also the chrome color matches most hardware and seems to belong, out of the way, and right along the rim of the hoop.

"Does the V1 100gram get an amount of dampening somewhere between M1b and M80? Or does it get more than the M80?"

It's about the same as the M1 BUT does sound different. Because of the weight and the fact it sits out and away from the rim of the drum, it keeps the ring of the shell and adds a bit of crisp clarity and compression. It also shortens the lower frequency humm like our brass #5 model which tightens up the drum. An M80 fully open definitely has the most dampening but less drum shell openness.
Note: it is made to shorten the sustain but keep the good ring. It won't dampen all the ring from your snare but tighten it up and give it more punch keeping the shell open around the rim of the drum.

*Remember the V1 will work with any size drum;(8",9,10,12,13,14,16,18, etc.) Dampen in a snap or disengage even faster with the magnetic on/off feature. Works with triple flange hoops, die cast, angel hoops, true hoops, 1/4" wood.
