Black Swamp Wood Drumhead Dampener - BSDD - Product Information

The Black Swamp Drumhead Dampener is made out of a combination of wood and felt materials. Simply rest the dampener on the batter head to eliminate unwanted overtones and harmonics. The attached cord allows the dampener to be tied to a tension rod for quick access on the gig.

This Dampener is part of Black Swamp Percussion's project within an effort to directly address sustainability as part of their ongoing product development and production. Dampeners are constructed from lumber cut offs collected during the Unibody solid shell manufacturing, and fully repurposed into a beautiful new percussion accessory item.

Because Black Swamp manufactures a wide variety of Unibody solid shell options, the availability of exotic and domestic lumber reused for drum dampeners is just as varied. This includes walnut, cherry, cocobolo, zebrawood, maple, bubinga and more. No single dampener will look the same!

Special Note: Black Swamp Percussion will not purchase lumber specifically for these dampeners, or hand pick wood models for special order requests. Dampeners will be randomly selected when delivered to our network of retailers. Imagine the anticipation of opening your new Black Swamp drum dampener, and the unique wood option is revealed!

  • SOLD INDIVIDUALLY - Only one drum dampener will ship and the color will vary

Too Light Weight & High Priced

Comments:

I had bought the Black Swamp 30th Anniversary Dampener and so went for this Wood Drum Head Dampener. I asked for Dark Wood I received a Natural. I guess they do not open the envelopes to see the color. Okay be that as it may, this is too light a piece of wood. The concept of arching the dampener along the edge of the head is great and the felt glued to the wood is quiet, but this wood is just way too light to offer a controlled dampening. It was okay when I played orchestral drumming in piano dynamics, but I can't recommend this piece for drum set snares at al. I guess it could have a place for Orchestral Drumming but the Retail should really be $12.00 not $19.00. Get the price down and specify that the wood is extremely light weight for soft playing only.

won't stay still!

Comments:

the dampener itself doesn't sound awful and looks pretty cool, but it's way too light! Even after getting my snare completely level, it still shakes all over the places, and occasionally flips over entirely. it just doesn't work for its purpose, just use a towel or a wallet
