Big Fat Snare Drum - Steve's Donut 14"

I have a Ludwig Breakbeats kit that I’ll use to gig in smaller venues. I love the kit very much except for the snare. Just have a hard time tuning it and getting it the way I like. I decided to use this on that kit and I really like it. It will lower the pitch of your drum and take out the majority of the overtones. It also depends on the sound like you like. I usually tune my snare first and then put this on. I even went and bought a 13 inch and 10 inch BFSD for some other snares I have.

I have been a musician for 50+ years, but I am completely new to drums. My Yamaha snare had a very annoying ringing overtone. A drummer friend suggested using a dampener, and after reading a ton of reviews I chose this one. What a difference! Now I get that sharp "crack" when I hit my snare, and there is NO ringing overtone. Easy to install...takes about 2 seconds to lay it on the drum head and you're done. Practicing is much more pleasant now that I'm getting the right sound on my snare...

Using the BFSD is like having two different drums. Placing it on the batter head lowered the pitch of my Gene Krupa about a step, scooped the mids and tightened the (Sound Pure - recommended) snare sound. I am a recording engineer and I see the BFSD as a valuable recording tool. It makes the drum sound gated. There is a slight reduction in volume, and the BFSD invites you to hit a bit harder. I like the focus it gives to Hot Rods as well. A different sound palette from the same drum for $20. Tune your snare well first. Definitely worth a try!

Really works well I was very impressed. It muffled my snare drum just right

At first glance this looks like some sort of gimmick but I'm glad i bought it. A small piece of plastic with a cutout hole in the middle just sits on top of the drum head. It seemed to completely eliminate all that ring and echo overtone that I had before.. It does muffle the sound a tad when your on the pad but doesn't really matter because of the hole in the middle so you still get that good crack from any snare. Therefore I'm finding new sounds that I did not have before. With the wires off it has a very deep beefy thump that my snare never had before.. Whatever style you like I'm sure this will work fine for you. I would buy again and I recommend.

Fantastic dampener for the snare with or without the snares engaged. Really odes the trick and does not reduce playability.

Fantastic! Takes sharp, thin, dry snares and makes them Lucious, fat, wet and musical. Perfect. I also love their quesadilla!

Controla los armónicos sin ahogar el sonido, es como tener un segundo redoblante.

Excelente producto

Alles super! Preis-Leistung perfekt

Cambia el sonido de tu caja de forma inmediata. Fantástico.

Parfait

少し前に購入したTAMAのそうる透シグネチャースネアのスティール感のあるサスティーンと倍音が気になり、いろいろとミュートを試していた中で、たまたま観たYouTubeの動画でこの商品の存在を知ることに。 動画でのミュートが本当にできるのかについてやや懐疑的であったのと、値段がこの手のものとしては安くないので購入を躊躇っていたところ、近々バンドで合わせることが決まり、勇気を出して買ってみました。 実際の感想として、YouTubeで観たようにこのシートを打面に置いて叩くだけで、金属シェルからデッドでタイトなサウンドに早変わり！自分の求めていた音になりました。今のところ個人的には最高のミュートアイテムです！ 注記 : アップさせてもらった動画の音よりも、実際はもっと大きく、クリアな音がします。
