Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
The BFSD was designed as a direct alternative to makeshift solutions (tissues, cloths) and traditional damping systems. Its goal is clear: to regain in one gesture that round, matte "big sound" highly sought after both in the studio and on stage, without changing the snare drum or going through lengthy tuning adjustments.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For
The BFSD is aimed at drummers, both beginners and advanced, who want an immediate tool to thicken the sound of a snare drum, and also a tom. Ideal for rock, funk, soul, pop, hip-hop, and retro music, whenever less treble, less sustain, and more depth are desired.
- Rubber hoop for stabilization and balance on the drumhead

Stunning, it is a super interesting accessory to subdue the sound and lower the note. Great for unplugged repeats, made excellent. To be tested now with Sono but it should work.
