Snareweight is a South San Francisco-based drum accessory company founded in 2009 that designs and hand-builds magnetic tone-control dampeners for snare drums and toms. The original product is a patented weighted brass damper that uses a 310-gram solid brass body, a neodymium magnet to clip onto the drum hoop, and interchangeable leather inserts to shape the sound. The dampener acts as a gate, sitting on the drumhead to shorten low-frequency decay and tame ring while lifting under harder hits to let the drum breathe.

The lineup has expanded to include the M1 (light to medium dampening), the flagship M80 (medium to heavy dampening with four settings), the Fader with an adjustable slider for top or bottom heads, and the chrome-finished M50 and M100 weighted models. Snareweight also makes smaller drum accessories such as the Speedy Key drum key. Products are made in the USA and sold both direct and through retailers like Sweetwater, Guitar Center, and various independent drum shops.

The brand has built a reputation in studio and live drumming circles for offering a residue-free, repositionable alternative to gels, tape, and wallets, and is endorsed by drummers across genres including players associated with Death Cab for Cutie, A Day To Remember, Sum 41, and Luke Combs.

Snareweight has 3 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Drum Set Accessories. Their gear is featured by 11 artists, with the strongest followings in Rock, Pop, and Folk, World, & Country. Notable users include Kaleen Reading, Mario Duplantier, and Michael Cavanagh "Mickey Cavs".
