Description

The XL Donut cuts overtones and tightens your sound with the feel of your actual snare & tom batter head.

The BFSD was engineered to effortlessly transform any Drum into your very own vintage, beefy, thumpy 70’s-inspired Big Fat Snare Drum. BFSD lowers the fundamental pitch of the drum without any of the hassle. Simply placed on top of your existing Snare or Tom skin, the custom blend of patented rubber and plastic instantly face-lifts your medium to high-pitched tuned Drums and delivers that sought after, authentic, deep & warm tone we all know & love. Equipped with a thumb cut out for quick removal, a rubberised gasket for weight, balance and stability, the BFSD was designed for the drummer’s convenience and makes it easier than ever to achieve that signature sound with no need to retune or bring extra drums. Created for the drummer, by the drummer, make everyone jealous with your Big Fat Snare Drum.

The XL Donut is ideal for drummers who want a fat, controlled tone without losing too much articulation. The wider ring gives your drum more weight and warmth than standard donuts, smoothing high frequencies while keeping your playing responsive. It works especially well for grooves that require depth and clarity, providing a mix friendly balance of punch and natural head response.

Durable and easy to use, the XL Donut offers a simple way to switch between your natural snare sound and a deeper, more focused voice in seconds. It is a versatile choice for live shows, studio tracking or practice sessions where fast tone changes are essential.

Why Choose the BFSD XL Donut:

• Produces a deeper, warmer fat snare tone with added openness
• Large center cutout keeps stick feel and articulation natural
• Quick to apply and remove with no residue
• Works on snares and toms for flexible tone shaping
• A reliable, gig ready tool for achieving classic low tuned drum sounds
