Even though this drum dampener is very well made and sturdy, it will without a doubt completely mute the drum, far too much for my liking. But that is personal taste.
It would almost be the equivalent of putting your leather wallet on your snare, which does sound great, but this damper will not allow the drum to breath were there will be some slight movement or give from a wallet. There is some adjustment, but it mutes the drum very heavily.
If you are looking for a small amount of dampening, this won't be the product, this is on the extreme side.
