Big Fat Snare Drum Auto-Tone Snare Drum Topper - 14 inch

Big Fat Snare Drum Auto-Tone Snare Drum Topper - 14 inch

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 Snare Drum Topper - 14 inch. 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.
