Adjust Your Trick Throw Off on a Snare Drum

How to adjust your radial 3-position Trick throw off strainer when changing snare wires. This is one of the easiest and most misunderstood strainer adjustments out there. If you get it dialed in perfectly the throw off works really well for loose, medium and tight snare wires.

Hey brotha Josh, excellent video! Very detailed and well presented. This will come in very handy when I decide to change the reso head soon. Just got a 12" Mapex Black Panther Design Labs snare. It comes with the 3-way Trick throw-off. Thanks again for the strait-forward, no nonsense, no big dumb face instructional!!!

Thank you! Hope it helps!

@@verticaldrumco It sure does help. All of the little things you wouldn't think of were covered. Thanks again!

Thank you for cleaning that up about the throw off being engaged. Every video I’ve seen always does the opposite with a lot of dialing in. Are those other videos basically instructions to chocking the wires?

What kind of snare is this? This finish is absolutely stunning!!!

[@verticaldrumco]

Its a blue splatter patina aluminum 8x14.

What type of nylon string you used, and does the throw off works well? Its the same as mine but the throw off gets stucked everytime

[@verticaldrumco]

We use a nylon string from a wholesale company so its not available to the general public. What's getting stuck on your snare?
