Snareweight 70's Leather Inserts For Brass #5 Dampening System - Pair

Snareweight 70's Leather Insert for Damper System
Genuine USA Grade Leather 70's Insert for use with Snareweight #5 brass model. The '70s is their most effective way of eliminating ALL the top head overtone ring. The 70's insert can be used as a pair for the most dampening or individual left or right for less. Remember too, if the ring is still present in the drum, try moving it around the hoop... you have a 99% chance of knocking it out. The other nice thing about the 70's insert is that it acts like a gate, opens and closes a bit depending upon the strength of your stick attack- so there is not the squashed feeling with harder hits getting you hard hitting drummers tired. It's called "Expressive Dampening"...letting the characteristics of your drum open up when hit harder and "held" close, with more sensitive playing. It also helps the shell to be heard by being flexible in the right way.

About The Snareweight Damper System

The Snareweight Damper System is the fastest way to get your snare drum sounding its best. Made of solid brass, a strong neodymium magnet (to removably secure to your rim), and interchangeable leather inserts that help shape your sound- it will be the most loyal little buddy in your ever-changing stick bag.

The other feature that is sweet about Snareweight is that it adds mass to your drum head which helps to evenly smooth the lower-mid ringing frequencies that can't be reached with other methods. The high-frequency unwanted ring is shaped by the chosen insert. Keeping all the frequencies present and level across the board will bring out the true tone of your drum shell for a smoother and richer sound.
