The "Muteplate" allows you to adjust the sound, volume, and overtones by focusing on the sound escape in the center of the snare side. It produces a sound that can't be created by simply sticking or pressing something on, moderately mutes without killing the sustain, emphasizes the bass, and gives a fat and high-quality feel. The carefully researched hole size creates an exquisite sound! A must-have for mini-lives and small studios. Also great for acoustic drums at home. 【When to Use】・When the snare drum feels too loud・When the sound lacks tightness・When muting only the batter head doesn't do the trick・When performing live with a small sound・When the sound is too muffled due to over-muting on the batter head・When considering reducing the snare wires・When considering a wooden rim・When wanting to use a 14" or 13" snare drum on a small-diameter or shell-less kit 【When You Use It】・Above all, it prevents the snare from being too loud and ruining the song・Metallic sounds and unnecessary overtones are reduced, resulting in a tighter sound・Punch can be achieved even at low volumes, perfect for rock beats・Allows for various nuances, good for Jazz too・Wild snare wires are tamed・Gentle on the ears・Rolls sound beautiful even while muted・Doesn't tire the ears・Can be attached and detached in seconds during a performance・Increases the range of expression and stabilizes rhythm・Makes playing at low volumes easier・Doesn't change the feel of the drum, good for practice 【How to Use】Open the 14" stand fully, then place the plate on the snare with flat contact and do not tighten it. Simply setting it up provides a moderate and consistent effect. Depending on the situation, such as soundproofing, you can try to almost completely close the hole with something... it's up to your ingenuity. 【Grooves】 One side has grooves for 14" outer-rolled press and die-cast hoops, and 13" grooves, and the other side has grooves for 14" inner-rolled hoops, making it compatible with most manufacturers. For 14", we researched the rim sizes of 10 companies and determined the width and position of the grooves. The 13" grooves are an extra feature, as we only confirmed compatibility with about 5 companies. 【Incompatibility/Notes】 ・Compatible with stands with an arm radius of 19.3 cm or more and L-shaped receiver rubbers・In rare cases, if the hoop is too oval and doesn't fit the groove, please adjust the hoop・Incompatible if the bottom hoop has strong twisting or distortion・Incompatible with hoops with special shapes such as snare guards, S-hoops, or hook-type hoops. Please check the shape of your drum carefully・In rare cases, the tuning bolt heads may come into contact with the plate, but this does not affect the muting effect・Please understand that this is a "consumable item" like heads and snare wires・Please understand that this is handmade・Returns are not accepted for reasons such as "it's different from what I imagined" ★Any offer for this product below 5,490 yen is a scam site!
