It is weighted with a 3.5 ounce (100 gram) chrome body, a magnet, felt, and strong vegan leather. Keep the good ring and get rid of the bad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSnareweight here at the shop thinks it dampens in a new way, kind of in between the M1b and the Brass #5 model, and are loving the fact the M1 footprint was taken and the right amount of weight added to get a dampened, full of tone, drum sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlso the chrome color matches most hardware and seems to belong, out of the way, and right along the rim of the hoop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\"Does the V1 100gram get an amount of dampening somewhere between M1b and M80? Or does it get more than the M80?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's about the same as the M1 BUT does sound different. Because of the weight and the fact it sits out and away from the rim of the drum, it keeps the ring of the shell and adds a bit of crisp clarity and compression. It also shortens the lower frequency humm like the brass #5 model which tightens up the drum. An M80 fully open definitely has the most dampening but less drum shell openness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNote: Snareweight loves the V1 at the shop but note it is made to shorten the sustain but keep the good ring. It will not dampen all the ring from a snare but tighten it up and give it more punch keeping the shell open around the rim of the drum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRemember the V1 will work with any size drum;(8-inch,9-inch,10-inch,12-inch,13-inch,14-inch,16-inch,18-inch, 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-inch wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 3.5 ounce (100 gram)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: Chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Vegan leather, felt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatibility: 8-inch, 9-inch, 10-inch, 12-inch, 13-inch, 14-inch, 16-inch, 18-inch drums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\n\nManufacturer: Snareweight\u003cbr\u003eModel: 018-VEG1Y\u003cbr\u003eSKU: I814179-N-11-WHXD\u003cbr\u003eUPC: 757284986130\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWe are Chuck Levin's Washington Music Center\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 1958, Chuck Levin’s Washington Music Center has been the trusted destination for musicians and audio professionals across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C.
