Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The BFSD (Big Fat Snare Drum) has established itself as a simple and immediate solution to regain the sought-after vintage-style "big snare sound," highly prized both in the studio and on stage. The Medford Square White Cooper version is a variation with enhanced character, designed to further thicken the attack and body while adding a subtle percussive dimension thanks to its cymbals.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
This BFSD is aimed at drummers from beginners to professionals who want a quick tool to switch from an open sound to a matte, deep, and controlled tone. Ideal for rock, funk, neo-soul, pop, indie, and any context where the snare needs to be dense, round, and well-positioned in the mix, without carrying a second snare drum.
Features and Innovations
Simply placed on the drumhead, the BFSD acts as an intelligent attenuator: its combination of Mylar plastic and rubber modifies the behavior of mid/high frequencies and reduces sustain while maintaining a natural stick feel. The hoop stabilizes the whole unit, and the notch allows for quick installation and removal, even between songs.
Sound
This model emphasizes a heavier and thicker sound: the fundamental pitch drops, the attack rounds off, and the harmonics become shorter, resulting in a snare with an immediately recognizable "fat" character. The white copper cymbals add an extra texture, between a discreet metallic accent and controlled vibration, useful for thickening the backbeat without making it aggressive.
