After a couple years of testing, Snareweight is stoked to have wrapped up our Vegan Leather model, the V1. It is weighted with a 3.5 ounce (100 gram) chrome body, a magnet, felt, and strong vegan leather.

We here at the shop think it dampens in a new way, kind of in between our M1b and our Brass #5 model, and are loving the fact we took our M1 footprint and added the right amount of weight to get a dampened, full of tone, drum sound.

Also the chrome color matches most hardware and seems to belong, out of the way, and right along the rim of the hoop.

"Does the V1 100gram get an amount of dampening somewhere between M1b and M80? Or does it get more than the M80?"

Note: We love the V1 at the shop but note it is made to shorten the sustain but keep the good ring. It won't dampen all the ring from your snare but tighten it up and give it more punch keeping the shell open around the rim of the drum.

*Remember the V1 will work with any size drum;(8",9,10,12,13,14,16,18, etc.) Dampen in a snap or disengage even faster with the magnetic on/off feature. Works with triple flange hoops, die cast, angel hoops, true hoops, 1/4" wood."
