The Snareweight M1W Damper White is a high quality leather strip that fits any hoop. The leather strip is simply attached to any conventional hoop. A practical magnet system offers different levels of damping, because the overtone damper can be folded to the side as well as up and down. The sound can be modified by the different positions of the leather strap, comparable to a treble button on a guitar amp. The Snareweight mute is a compressor that provides a naturally dry sound during a studio recording or live performance.
