Members otacon28 Posted December 17, 2003 Members Share Posted December 17, 2003 just wondering if anyone else on here has tired one of the remo/dave weckl designed sound dampening system check out the pic of it if you don't know what it is . i bought this a few weeks back on ebay and wow i really love this thing . it's nice because you can dampen your snare quickly if you need to,and just spin it out of the way when you don't want the snare dampened. works out great for a quick switch from one style of music to another ... sam(otacon28) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rumblebelly Posted December 17, 2003 Members Share Posted December 17, 2003 Bah! Don't dampen it! A well tuned snare needs no dampening. I can understand though if you gotta go from rock to something like folk music though. I've guys just slap a wallet on the snare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fully adjustable stroke control allows you to dial in the amount of desired decay. The devise adjusts to any style or make of hoop. it's actually nice for using from a really rocked up song,and then dropping down to very slight snare hits where you wanna control any over-ring ... i have been playing for almost 26 years so i do take having all the drums tuned properly seriously . i just thought that this was a nice little secret weapon against some unwanted ring out on my birch snare is all . i don't use any type of muffling on my snare other than this gate though . i have back in the day used the "wash rag technique though" i play alot of different stuff from rock - jazz so this worked well for me especially when practicing with a mix cd of different styles of music sam(otacon28) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
