Product Details
"We wanted to easily reproduce the low-pitched sound unique to real leather" - with this in mind,
after testing over 20 different materials such as felt and film, the optimal solution we arrived at is this "synthetic leather 1.0mm" model.
Instantly achieve a rich, low-pitched sound without sacrificing the snare drum's original volume or changing its tuning.
The exquisite 1.0mm thickness creates the tight, pleasant snare tone required for Hip-Hop and R&B, while allowing for smooth playing from subtle ghost notes to rapid double strokes, without the heaviness of a mute.
Carabiner magnets are standard equipment to prevent slippage during play.
They can be attached and detached with a single touch between the drum tuning key and tension bolt, allowing for smooth sound changes between songs.

Precautions for use
Material Variation: As this product uses synthetic leather, there may be slight individual differences in surface texture, wrinkles, and color.
Thickness Variation: Although meticulously handcrafted, due to the nature of synthetic leather, there may be a thickness tolerance of 0.1 to 0.15mm.
Aging: Due to usage environment and aging, the texture of the synthetic leather may change, and the logo sticker may peel or become dirty.
【Precautions for Synthetic Leather Products】
Care for Moisture and Humidity: Due to the nature of the material, it is vulnerable to water, sweat, and high humidity. After use, wipe off moisture with a dry cloth and store in a well-ventilated area (this will prevent stickiness and peeling, allowing for longer use).
Care Instructions: When dirty, wipe with a tightly wrung damp cloth. Do not use liquids containing solvents such as alcohol or disinfectant sprays, as they will rapidly accelerate surface deterioration.
Storage Request: To prevent deformation and color transfer, avoid storing in high-temperature and high-humidity places (such as inside a car in summer), or in close contact with other rubber or plastic products.

FEATURES
Low-pitch & Tight
Perfect for drummers who want to instantly achieve a slightly lower-pitched snare sound while maintaining a tight sound.

Easy Setup
No fine-tuning of the snare wires required. Simply place it on for an instant change in sound.
Over 20 prototypes later, we arrived at 1.0mm synthetic leather.
"I want to more easily reproduce the ultimate low-pitched sound unique to genuine cowhide leather."
This desire led to over 20 prototypes using various materials such as felt, and the optimal solution we arrived at is "1.0mm synthetic leather."
① Excellent "response" not found in thick (1.5-2.0mm) genuine leather
Thick genuine leather mutes, in exchange for lowering the pitch, tended to make the drumhead heavier and compromise rebound. This product, with its exquisite thinness of "1.0mm," maintains agile response while producing rich low tones. From delicate ghost notes to fast double strokes, you can play easily without feeling the weight of the mute.
② Playing feel equivalent to 1.0mm cowhide, with an even greater "low-pitch feel"
The playing feel is almost equivalent to 1.0mm cowhide, but synthetic leather has the characteristic of smartly cutting high-frequency overtones, allowing for a deeper, tighter bass sound.
③ "Casualness" that works perfectly just by placing it
Compared to genuine leather, the sound-deadening effect is moderately reduced, so there is no need to finely adjust the snare tension. Just place it on, and you'll instantly get the desired sound effect. It achieves both the "rich bass" of genuine leather and the "playability" unique to 1.0mm. Please try this new generation of mutes that satisfy the demanding requirements of live performance while being overwhelmingly easy to handle.
