Big Fat Snare Drum Steve's Donut 14"

It?s amazing how such a simple device is able to alter the sound characteristics of the snare drum so drastically. It doesn?t only suppress the overtones, it makes the snare sound completely different, with a thick and deep sound. It has the power to make my piccolo snare sound like it is 6 or 7 inch deep. It sits quietly on the top of the drumhead and, since it has a large hole in the center, the feel of the sticks over the drumhead remains the same. It?s a very effective and simple way to change the sound of the snare drum without the need to alter its tuning.

Makes your snare sound like a 80's disco snare without any mixing. Very nice to stop ringing from a snare or to deaden the snare for recordings.

Perfect on my lively metal snares, this removes all overtones, reduces the pitch of the drum, and gives that classic fat and thick snare familiar from those 70's recordings.
Good quality and has a nice weight to it, so no risk of it somehow coming off the drum in use.
This is the "donut" version, meaning it has a hole of several inches in the center, so it doesn't interfere with how your sticks feel on the drumhead.
Would buy again if needed. Fantastic!

Product does what it says. Goes with me on all the gigs now. The material can relatively easy be 'crackled', which makes it work less well, so be careful during transport.

This is perfect for both live and in the studio because it removes all of the unwanted tones while fattening up the sound. I've tried it on a couple of my snares and they all sound amazing.

Very cost effective. I sold my wooden snare drum as a consequence. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend that to more discriminating players than myself, but not a bad compromise.

How to achieve the right, fat, recording or live sound for you snare? Use Steve's Donut!
If snare drums is well tuned, you can achieve an incredible, amazing snare sound in no time; perfect for steel snare drums in order to obtain a beautiful 70's sound.
A real deal for all drummers!

Does what it says: allows you to instantly turn a high pitched snare into a fat 70's beast. I use it to switch from a timbale-style highly pitched roots-reggae snare sound to a fat 80's style dub snare sound in seconds, just by slapping on the Donut. Love it.

I'm leaving the review for my drummer. He loves it - it serves it intended purpose.
