Featuring four adjustable dampening settings and a patented magnetic clip, it offers quick, secure attachment to most metal hoops without damaging drumheads. Designed for light to medium dampening, it enhances snare and tom resonance by reducing unwanted overtones while preserving brightness. Trusted by professionals, it streamlines studio and live performance setups with durable, versatile, and easy-to-use design. ## Description 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 M1b (light to medium dampening) the perfect "starter" and the newest member of the Snareweight family. Made of USA genuine leather, the M1b is engineered to control the resonance without sacrificing the brightness of the drum. One M1b has 4 different dampening settings: very light, light, medium and off. Remember the M1b is a great fit for toms too (floor toms should use our M80 model). It also presents some weight on the head (more than tape, plastic etc) which helps shorten the lower frequency hum. You can dampen in a snap or disengage even faster with the on/off magnet feature. Works with triple flange hoops, die-cast, s-hoops, angel hoops, true hoops, brass hoops, and 1/4" wood hoops. Leather thickness does vary between 1.5mm to 2mm.

Some rooms make it impossible to not add something to a snare drum to dial it in. This solves a lot of problems. 3 different levels of muffling and you can flip it into an off position without taking it off. I have them on all of my snares and even added them to my toms just in case. The black leather will leave a mark on the drumhead if that is a concern for you. I love it and woulkd recommend to any drummer. Review: Perfect little product - I was skeptical. I mean, how many muffling products do we need? I always have a roll of gaff tape and a package of Moon Gel handy so why would I need this? I dont in all reality, but I'm glad I have it. This is a very well-made ingenious product that is easy to use. I love that you have four different options with the Snareweight. I feel like it helps save time vs. cutting a gel or tape, adding more gel or tape, etc. Get one, especially if you do studio work where time is of the essence and the producer or engineer want different sounds on the fly; you'll be glad you have it. ## Features - Hey Everybody, if they are out of stock, try our website - Handmade in SF -find those beats of the future :) - LIGHT to MEDIUM: drum dampening- 4 different settings... or, flip it up and off the head for none at all!! - PATENTED: clip for permanent grip to ALL SIZE metal hoops (EXCEPT S-hoops and Tama Arc Hoops) - MADE IN USA: Genuine USA Leather.

(as pictured).** A: I can't answer why that happened. What I will say is that I prefer the M80 over the smaller damping system. The M1 has been updated using thicker leather. However, this creates a problem in that the leather won't fold up because a) it's too thick and b) the magnets are not powerful enough. I love the M80 because it does everything it is supposed to do and gives you plenty of flexibility. Be happy. I think you actually made out better in the long run. **Q: Does it work with mesh head to help double trigger issue?** A: Hi, good question. I have not heard if it does or doesn't. Mesh heads seem to be slower moving than a typical Mylar head. If you were going to try it, you might have the best luck with our bigger version called the M80 to add more weight and stop the resonance. I would look into the threshold of the trigger sensitivity 1st however. Also, would love to know if it works! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So Good *by A***R on November 26, 2023* The end of MoonGell and duct tape. This is a great invention.

I would rather choose the right head and keep the drum open. For my ear, beats Moon-Gel or Zer-o Rings hands down. To my ear, they change the fundamental characteristics of the drum sound, making it flat and dead, taking the material you chose for the drum shell out of the equation. I've never made them work to my liking. But these are different. They don't deaden the drum and allow it to breathe while killing some overtones and ringing. Very pleasing to my ear and sound sensibilities I rarely use it, but I'm happy to have it. ## Frequently Bought Together - SNAREWEIGHT M1b Black Drum Tone Control Damper Dampener, the ORIGINAL, Made in USA - SNAREWEIGHT M80 Black Drum Tone Control Damper Dampener, the ORIGINAL, Made in USA - Evans EQ Pad Bass Drum Dampeners - Bass Drum Sound Dampening - Attaches to Drum Shell - Adjustable, Hinged - Controls Attack & Sustain - Great for Close Drum Mics - 1 Multi-Use Pad --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/37699691-m1b-black-drum-tone-control-damper-dampener-the-original-made](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/37699691-m1b-black-drum-tone-control-damper-dampener-the-original-made) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
