Drum Tips - Snare Drum Muffling
To make your own easy, and less expensive snare drum muffle rings - like the "Zero Ring" by Noble & Cooley.1) Cut off the rim of an old snare drum head.
2) Next cut out the center of the old snare head leaving you with a ring about 1/2 inch wide that is nearly the diameter of the snare drum.
Try making a few of various different widths. About ½ inch wide will cut a few over-tones, 1½ -2 inches wide will give a really fat, dead, 70’s sounding snare.
Carry a few with you to make it really easy to dramatically alter your snare drum sound for different songs

I've used weather-stripping. I line the rim of the had and it works great.
I use small squares made up with masking tape, one in the centre and some others "between" each lug, I put them in the inner side so they don't mess the look nor the sound of brushes. Have a nice and fun drumming!
do u need to use them muffle rings on the snare or any drum
