Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Sized at 12 inches, the Original Big Fat Snare Drum is placed over an existing snare skin to alter the drum without retuning it. It was designed with a smaller side snare in mind when that drum is tuned higher for some songs but needs a different response for others. A thumb cutout makes removal quick between songs, and its rubberized gasket adds weight, balance, and stability. It offers a way to change the setup without carrying a second drum.
