The BFSD XL Donut is positioned as a simple and effective option for drummers seeking clear control over high and mid frequencies while preserving a credible snare response with a decidedly vintage character.
Who This Drum/Instrument Is For

It is particularly relevant for styles that require a dense and controlled sound: rock, funk, pop, soul, RnB, blues, reggae, as well as studio and live settings where the snare must remain clear in the mix.
