I stole this idea from a Youtube channel called Sounds Like a Drum. They used gaff tape to hold a cymbal felt in place on the head. This is ideal because the felt bounces to let the full tone though then suppresses the unpleasant overtones, but not to the point that chokes the snare. It’ very natural sounding.

Below is my creation that tethers a cymbal felt off a rim mount. It’s even adjustable in relation to the edge of the snare.

This is the best dampener that I have ever used. And I have used a lot.

I’ve had these foam sound blocks sitting around forever. I never hung them because it would have left several holes in the wall after removing them for cleaning a few times. So I finally had the idea to mount them on removable frames. It was a self-proclaimed moment of brilliance because not only does the foam work to tame the high frequencies, an air-pocket is created that is good for trapping bass frequencies.

I A/B’d them by putting up just the right side. Huge difference. After getting both up, I discovered that the bass was being swallowed, which is the exact opposite I expected. Bass is super clear and I can easily hear adjustments on the lower end.

It’s a gaming chair which doubles as a mixing chair. Therefore, it’s music related.
It’s awesome!

Thank you over-hyped-stolen-holiday-capitalistic-first-world-privileged-frenzied-consumer-conditioned-impulse for the great price reduction. Otherwise known as cyber…black…some day of the week? Isn’t there a green something or other now? I forget. Or maybe I just don’t care. Yeah, that.

I’m in a mood
