Snareweight M1 Wasabi Green

Snareweight M1 Wasabi Green

Snareweight M1 Wasabi Green is an expressive leather drum dampener designed for drummers who want light to medium control over snare or tom overtones while keeping the drum bright, open, and responsive. Handmade in South San Francisco, USA as a limited run color, this M1b Wasabi Green uses AZ leather and adds a bold pop of green to your white drumheads for a functional and stylish upgrade to your kit.

Product Overview

The Snareweight M1 Wasabi Green is built from genuine California USA leather and sized at approximately 4 inches across. Like the Black and Brown M1b versions, this AZ leather balances pliability and firmness, giving the dampener enough structure to be effective while remaining flexible by design. The limited run Wasabi Green finish is visually striking, making it easy to see on stage or in the studio while giving your snare or toms a distinctive look.

At the core of the M1 design is a patented clip that provides a secure grip on all size metal hoops, with the exception of S-Hoops and Tama Arc Hoops where it is not recommended. It works with triple flange hoops, die cast, angel hoops, and true hoops, and it fits a wide range of drum sizes from 8 inch up through 18 inch shells. Magnetic flexibility keeps handling simple around the kit, and because nothing adheres to the drumhead, the surface stays clean with no adhesive or residue. The M1 Wasabi Green is built to avoid warping, kinking, or unsticking during normal use, giving you a long term, reusable dampening solution.

Sound & Playing Feel

The Snareweight M1 Wasabi Green is engineered to control resonance without sacrificing the natural brightness and character of the drum. One M1b provides four different dampening settings ranging from very light, light, medium, to completely off when flipped away from the head. This range allows you to dial in subtle control for lightly taming ring, tighten decay for closer mic'd situations, or remove dampening entirely in a snap when you want a wide open sound.

Because the M1 sits at the hoop and rests gently on the head, the drum remains responsive and articulate under the stick. The flexible design is meant to follow a drummer's natural dynamics, so quiet ghost notes and loud backbeats both feel consistent and musical. You can reposition the M1 around the head, change settings quickly between songs, or pair two M1s on the same drum for more aggressive control if needed. The result is a tailored level of dampening that supports your playing rather than fighting it.
