Big Fat Snare Drum - Steve's Donut 13".

Awesome fat snare sound!!

I've been using BFSD for a few years or so (bought a new one recently) and it does its job well! Gives a nice low and dry sound for the snare. I usually have my snare tuned between a mid to high range so this comes real handy for songs where I'd like to have a low tuned snare.5/5!

The item did exactly what it said it would and I love it. Whoever packed it for shipping didn’t read the label. It said don’t fold it or bend it. It arrived in my mailbox in a plastic shipping bag, rolled up. It should have packed with a couple of pieces of cardboard in it, at least.

It does its job. Remarkably it does not detract from sound level, it may even be louder. The tone it gives is an acquired taste. I know that some folks love it, but I prefer to switch to a down tuned snare. I find the tone a bit blurry and it affects the definition and articulation of your drumming. On the other hand you can't always take along two snares and it is the best way to get completely different sound from your snare. If like me you hate to retune your snare after you have got it just perfect, then use this easily portable device.

Wow! I don't understand why this doesn't have more reviews. This product is the best drum accessory I've ever come across. I tuned my 14x7 ludwig supralite higher than I normally would. Threw the donut on it and bam!!! Instant fat snare sound. Took off some unwanted overtones that naturally come with a steel snare and kept the good tone, but lowered the fundamental pitch. My snare is sounding amazing!

Buenisimo

You might wonder if this product affects your live concert drumming. But I can assure you with some effects on the sound console, it will rock like a real drummer without investing too much in an expensive snare.

I wanted a fat 60's snare sound and that muffled tom sound like on an old Al Green classic. This does that perfectly. They are durable and reliable as well.
