What does the Pro-Lock do?

The Pro-Lock is used to secure the 3rd, 4th & 5th generation of Snareweight/Snareweight JR to die-cast hoops. The Pro-lock incorporates an arched magnet to attract to the magnet of the Snareweight through the die-cast hoop. It has a slot that the Snareweight drops into, then creates a floating lock to secure the damper.

What are the benefits of using the Pro-Lock?

The Snareweight coupled with a Pro-Lock is as good as it gets for dampening and road worthy durability because of the lock between the two magnets. Even with the hardest drum hit it will reset itself and fall back into place with perfect contact/balance to the head. This makes it impossible to unhinge itself from the hoop unlike other hardware methods that eventually come undone. Lastly after more engineering and many more hours of testing they have incorporated a couple of side isolation sorbothane dampers for less jitter when used on toms.

Here is what the creators have to say about the new 100% Solid brass Snareweight

‘Similar to the #4, but will accept a wider range of insert accessories. Also, we have added a leather “extra grip” option for triple flange hoops. Just pull it out of the channel and over the magnet to read “EXTRA GRIP” and slide in into place. This will prevent the #5 from moving in tiny amounts over time with hard hitting drummers. The second simple feature is a cutaway to except our mono trigger (sold separately but at a great price). Nothing else has changed or needed to charge from the #4. All prior inserts from other Snareweight models will work exactly the same. As they say in computer land, it’s backward compatible. The 3rd difference is the rustic brown leather we chose for the standard insert. It’s a bit brighter sounding with a more cutting rim shot. We all agree it sounds a bit tougher when the head is hit hard. Insert choice does make a difference and again, all older inserts work with the new #5. If you looking for a #4 it’s back in year 2016 and 2017- heh heh… Time ticks on……..be rrrrocking good and find those choice beats of the future!!’

What has Improved since the last edition?

Since the 1st designs of 2011, there has been a few improvements to the magnet and magnet enclosure. Recessed screws now anchor the magnet as well as a raised brass lip to prevent the magnet from chipping. Also they included what they call the “absorber” above the magnet to prevent jitter at certain tuning.

What does a Snareweight do?

Snareweight adds mass to the head which helps to evenly smooth the lower-mid ringing frequencies that can’t be reached with other methods while keeping the tone of your shell in tact. The unwanted ring of the high frequencies are shaped by the chosen insert in a snap by matching the insert with your favorite drum head.

From an engineering stand point with the weight of a Snareweight #5, you get about 2-3 db of compression from your drum, which helps to reel it in for optimum recording levels and sitting in the mix without the need for more outboard gear, eq/compression, usually better to fix it from the source.

The M80 is engineered to control the resonance without sacrificing the brightness of the drum.

One M80 has 4 different dampening settings:

• Mild
• Medium
• Heavy
• Off

Remember the M80 fits drums of all sizes (8″, 9″, 10″, 12″, 13″, 14″, 16″, 18″, etc). It also presents some weight on the head (more than tape, plastic etc) which helps shorten the length of ringing of say a 16″ floor tom. Dampen in a snap or disengage even faster with the on/off feature. Works with triple flange hoops, die cast, angel hoops, true hoops, brass hoops, 1/4″ wood. Leather thickness does vary between 1.3mm to 1.6mm.
