An expansion pack for BFD3 with four premium Sleishman snare drums whose floating shells deliver a unique sound, sustain and purity of tone.

Sleishman’s system suspends the drum shell without any physical contact with lugs and other hardware, while a patented tuning system keeps both heads precisely in tune, resulting in a unique sound, sustain and purity of tone. BFD Sleishman Snares includes a 14-inch maple shell snare played with rods and sticks, a 10-inch maple piccolo, a 13-inch rosegum snare played with brushes and sticks, and a 14-inch blue acrylic snare. Some of the snares feature additional articulations in BFD3, and the matching kit is available separately as BFD Sleishman Drums.
