Add Depth and Dynamics to Your Snare Drum

Turn your modern snare drum sound into massive vintage-style tone with Steve's Donut from Big Fat Snare Drum. Steve's Donut is a slightly expanded take on Big Fat Snare Drum's original Donut design, contracting the center opening to just 5" and providing a broader deadened playing surface. Not only does this drop the pitch and focus the attack, but  drummers were delighted to discover a massive range of extra tone for playing subtle ghost notes. What's more, adding or removing a Steve's Donut is so fast that you can comfortably do it in the middle of a song if desired, and it's such a handy tool in the studio that every session drummer ought to keep at least one Big Fat Snare Drum Donut handy all the time.

  • Installs instantly and is easy to remove, thanks to the handy finger cutout

 

Beef Up Your Snare in Seconds

The fat, dry '70s snare sound is one of few constants in rock 'n' roll. Your favorite drummers had to resort to taping T-shirts and tea towels to their heads for those now-iconic tones. Today you can beef up any snare in seconds, professionally and cleanly, with the original Big Fat Snare Drum Auto-Tone. This rubber/plastic damper actually lowers the pitch of your snare about a whole tone, eliminating overtones in the process. The resulting snare sound is punchier, smoother, and much more cooperative with live mixes and studio productions.Drummers have been impressed with the results in our own studios; a feature we particularly like is the thumb-sized cutout, which facilitates quick removals with a hand or stick mid-song.

 

Big Fat Snare Drum: professional looks, professional results

Wallet, tape, gels, rings — Big Fat Snare Drum know the drill when it comes to head damping. BFSD tone shapers have a sound all their own. The rubberized outer gaskets add weight to snare heads, much like a wallet or brass weight, for a deeper tone and a snug fit. Even better, they look professional and won't mark up drumheads. Today you can spot Big Fat Snare Drums on Shawn Pelton's kit on Saturday Night Live and in recording studios across America.
