Reviews

Snareweight M1b
Compared to Moon Gel or an Overtone ring these are great. Leather pops off the head and rests naturally giving a nice gated sound compared to a gel or ring. I opted for the smaller M1 over the larger M80. The M1 takes just enough ring out of the air. Was afraid the M80 was going to be too much even with the flaps folded in. The only problem I personally had was putting this on a Mapex Black Panther with Sonic Saver Hoops. The top bead of those hoops curl into the head of the drum which causes the M1 to turn down into the head causing the magnet to activate. Just had to fiddle with it a bit to make do. No issues on my Dunnett with double flange hoops, slips right on. I bought 2 of these just for my snare drums and I'm glad I did.
