I've been using this for some years now, and with the magnetic buttons to fold less off the head, or not, works great! We play 4 45 minute shows where we segue between songs, so there's no time to fix anything while going through a show. And it's held on, never popped off, and lets me adjust the muting depending on the room or venue where we are playing. The sound guys like it as they don't have to set the gates and limiter too high in their rack at the sound booth. :)

I play a Ludwig Supra 6.5 x 14 with an Evans G1 coated batter (Ludwig standard snare side head). I usually put just one full moon gel on the batter to get it right where I like it, just a bit of ring, no extra snare buzz. The thing I always hated about moon gels is, I take them off to tune the drum and would always lose them, or put them on my throne and then sit on them, etc. Or they get dirty after a while. I love this thing. I found that folding both flaps in is the equivalent of a full moon gel, almost exactly. I can easily pop it on and off for tuning. And if I want more muffling, I can fold one side or both sides down, depending on the song and sound I want. Highly recommend. To me the larger size would be way too much, but again, I like my drums pretty open and resonate and a little ring on the snare, but not much. I figure why use a Supra if you're not going to let that shell sing a little, but that's just me. Anyway, definitely give this a try if you use moon gels on a regular basis. Works as well but much more flexibility and versatility, and cleaner looking.

I use this on my Supraphonic and it provides a good amount of dampening. Definitely does not over muffle the drum. It provides the flexibility to adjust the amount of dampening. Low profile appearance. I’ve been getting a lot of compliments on my snare drum sound since adding this.

I really like your products, I have three M80’s for my snares and larger toms. I have two M1b’s for my smaller toms. They make my drums sound better, dampening just the right amount of overtones while still allowing the drums to sound natural. But I needed a white m1b for my orchestral snare. I ordered a M1b White and received a black one. See photos. Current rating 5 stars minus 3 stars for mislabeling package = 2 stars.Pros:o M1b good size for smaller tomso M1b good size for orchestral snares (where some overtones are needed)o M80 good size for snares and larger tomso Dampens just enough overtones to keep drums sounding naturalo Better than Evans E-Ring and Aquarian Studio Rings (these are pretty good at removing overtones but deadens some drums too much)o Better than Moon Gel – which can get messy but works if that’s all you got, good for some situations where location/placement is importanto Black Gaffer tape (I like) – is good overall at keeping drums sounding natural and reducing overtones, but Snareweight is a more user friendly / elegant solutionCons:o Pricey if you need a buncho Sometimes package mislabeled (color) – see photoso Grain and quality of leather can vary (may get one with stiffer leather, may get one with softer leather)Currently using Snareweight on:Yamaha Recording Custom 5 piece - BirchLudwig LM402 Supraphonic Snare Drum - 14x6.5 AluminumPearl Philharmonic Concert Snare - 14x5 Maple

I do not understand why for something this simple, the price is what it is. But it does work well.

I have used many types of snare dampers over the years. I had high hopes for this product, but it did not deliver. It does not lay flat on the snare, and therefore does not provide any real damping effect. The larger one may work better, but this smaller one simply does nothing useful. Would return if I still had the packaging.

Bought to damp my rather lively snare.When it arrived it is apparent that it is a week made often that will last.It clips onto the rim of the snare and damps the surface of the snare. The sides fold up if desired, held in place by magnets to reduce the damping effect.I did notice that it has less damping effect that I expected. Nice on my floor Tom, but a bit more needed on my snare. I combined it with moongel to get the sound I wanted. Perhaps the larger one would be better for snares.
