Selected User Reviews For Big Fat Snare Drum - Combo Pack 14"
This is a great combination of two things I enjoy. Because of this, it seems like a good deal to me. Different approaches need to be taken, and sometimes in unexpected ways, and I think it is important to have both options available. In some cases, the one with a hole made the snare sound fatter, and in others, the solid one produced that effect. I have tried them on most of the drums to find out how the sound is different between them. My favorite use for these is in situations that require a variety of snare sounds over the course of a During a tribute show I did to Radiohead last year, I used an upside-down used snare head for a similar effect. The effect allowed me to recreate all of the snare sounds that they have The rims on the old heads required me to adjust the height of the snare stand for the entire evening because I had left them on. With these, I'll be able to do my job much more easily this year. Some people seem to think you can make these by cutting down different heads and keeping them in a It is possible to do that, but these are more than worth their price for the fit and finish.
Having the ability to easily access one snare or the other within a song and keep the music varied is what I like about them. the Big Fat Snare Drum overlays nearby is a great way of quickly expanding my setup with more variety of snare sounds without having to add more drums. They give a fat, heavy sound, and I enjoy having them on for a song or two or however long I need them, and then removing them with a lot of ease in a few The beefiness and the dryness they add really enhance even the best meat dishes The snare has been tuned. It is important to note, though, that if you add tape or more mylar to the head of your snare (or tom), then your sensitivity will be reduced. Donuts are a tasty treat It is excellent to have a hole model with direct stick-it There is some articulation on the drumhead, but the entire head cannot be articulated You'll have to work a little more for rolls or ghost notes if you choose this coverage model. Nevertheless, they are worth every penny!.
Having never tried these in a live setting, I can't comment on what they'd do for live recording, but they work wonders on recording snares. In my opinion, the donut on a Ludwig Acrolite and the full cover on a Rogers Dynasonic are the two best designs. It reduces the overtones without choking out any of the snare's voice or resonant tone. A vintage Slingerland Radio King maple snare got both head covers tested, too, but I wasn't blown away by either. It could just be that they sound better on Tuning is as important as ever. As far as I can tell, I have used them with both coated and clear snare batter heads, and I have heard pretty much what the audio samples on BFS' website show. I would.
I saw some videos online of this tool's performance and now that I have it I can testify that it's effective. A muffled drum will sound dry and deep when it is played. It's great because it lets you add different sounds on top of the original BFSD to give you a wider variety of sounds. One thing to keep in mind is that if you don't like the sound of your snare or any other drum without the BFSD, it won't sound much better with it. Since it came with my drumset, my snare is cheap and has a lot of overtones, and it doesn't sound all that good. The BFSD helped me get the dryness that I was after, but it relies on a good drum sound in order to make the fat sound.
The sound she gets with these is better, and she doesn't need to keep changing out a piece of paper like she used to. In addition to the donut on the snare, she uses the solid on the floor tom (the floor tom has a bigger diameter, but it's still fine).
What a great idea!.
It is likely that I will be purchasing some more of the FX types in the near future. The product is great.
Furthermore, the fat sound it produces is nice.
