You're right. There's nothing special in making a Dunnett snare sounds good. I used to have 12 snares and then I bought Dunnett Classic Steel 14x6.5. Soon after I sold 7 other professional quality snares as I've been able to get same sound from the Dunnett. Dunnett's aren't cheap but totally worth the money.

The most important piece of advise I've ever heard anyone give when it comes to playing the drums is, "you play with authority." Authority exudes confidence and is something all great drummers do. They setup the time and groove and do so mechanically without telling any other instrument they are out of time. - a great drummer leaves no openings to fall out of time, forcing everyone to follow their lead. Once everyone else in the band has subjected to that timing and groove, the drummer can jump into 'exploration of additions to melody (so to speak) or fills" - or rather letting the kit talk out and express itself. - again with authority backing the entire compilation. - intentional, subtle to direct but absolutely relative and purposeful. Something highly recommended at band practice is, let the drummer form a groove and listen for a rotation or two before starting in. Do this for the first song or two. - Drummers, get in the habit of warming up before anyone arrives at practice. - Every session will improve and reach perfection if your not warming up throughout practice.

couple thoughts, first the room you're playing in has a huge difference on how you should pick a head to use and how you should tune it. i play at a church with multiple locations, one of them is basically an old cathedral, super high ceilings, not much sonic dampening basically a horrible room for a live band to play in. another meets in a movie theater, basically the complete opposite, still a huge room but the room is really dead because of all the acoustic panels they have. when i play in the old church i use a head that is really dry and dead, basically the initial attack of the snare and as fast decay as possible. the room takes that dry hit and makes it sound huge. in the movie theater i do the exact opposite. the room is so dead that if i used that same snare sound it just sounds dead and small. there i use a head that rings a lot more and has a lot more character. honestly i'm kinda surprised on how little material there is out there on how to tune drums depending on the room you're playing in. you could take a set that sounds amazing in a small club to a stadium and it would sound terrible, vice versa. ps that snare drum does sound amazing, also what hi-hats are those? i also really like how they sound

Another tip: one of my teachers once told me that he always does 2 half turns on the batter and 4 half turns on the snare head. Nowadays I almost always start here and then make adjustments to taste, it's a great starting point and often the sound you where looking for.

Jared, you touch on a very good point. Tightening. In my circumstances I several times weekly find myself sitting down on a house kit, carting but a snare, cymbals, stick bag, and kick pedal. And, it seems so very often that the person last playing the kit has tightened (not the snares but) virtually every nut of the hardware beyond reason--very often to a point the longevity of the hardware is being compromised, demanding tool assistance to undo. I perfectly understand the problem is lack of knowledge, not maliciousness or stupidity. Some folk are simply unaware of certain aspects of mechanics. I only point it out in hopes someone with capacity to reach massive numbers of listeners might find opportunity to educate up-and-comers who weren't raised on a farm or other venues that might have shed light on simple mechanics might find occasion to say...?

To get my snare sound I use the drum dial pressure tuner. I do this not because I can't tune without it BUT because I like it to be perfect. Depending on the snare size and wood I tune to around 90psi on the batter head and will usually tune the bottom head to around the same or slightly higher. Once again drum size and material depends on the number but roughly 90. As you mention in the video the WAY you play the drum really matters. Rimshots will give a defined sound which I love! So I got good at them. Also where you hit the drum. Some drummers I've met hit slightly off center for a reason - to get a defined sound. Rimshots are my fav and go to but that's just my two cents.

He replied he’d never heard it sound so good before and no longer wanted to sell it! I was so upset that he wouldn’t sell it that he just gave me an old 80’s Montoya acoustic guitar he was also selling that i wanted. Supra odd but I still have that acoustic and it sounds magnificent! I also left a rare 80’s Pearl snare from when i was 9 at my old collectables shop i shared with someone and never returned to grab it. I used it as just decoration and the guy i shared my shop with was asked everyday by someone to buy it but i wasn’t selling it ,so i figure it prob sold the day after i left ;.(… Hopefully i can find my old kit at a fair price someday.

The ringing of the drum might sound weird for new drummers, especially with lower quality equipment. BUT: You do not hear that ring in the final mix of a demo or a stage performance. You'd have to willingly crank that up (like Lars' snare on "St. Anger") to hear it. So don't worry too much about it if you hear the ringing during dry drum practice. It's how a drum is supposed to sound.

Thank you for sharing these important snare tunning tips. It will definetly help me get a great sound. Also, I appreciate your understanding that even though we have some basic rules as a drummer, like the important fundementals of making sure we are hitting the drum correctly, keeping the correct tempo (bpm), solid beat and more.......I'm glad you reckonize that we as drummers are the backbone and we are artists. We can say that a good drummer has skill and talent. However, you shared one of the most important things a drummer must have, and that is when we sit on our throne we must learn to be confident and for me, stay relaxed and focused, I don't think I play well when I tighten up and I push play instead of playing within. Thankfully, I continue to learn and BE teachable, which you demonstated. As musicians, each one of us has some, alot, or little creativity. That is the great thing about drummers, we can unite, help each other, learn and improve. Uniting is a plus for all of us. However, we as musicains are creative and have freedom. That's what I love about playing music, we are all different and I admit that unity helps us but I remind myself not to get caught up in uniformatey. Could you imagine if we all played the drums the same exact way. Thanks for the tips and the encouragement and I've been accumilating some instruments as I hope to open a studio with all the needed intsruments and a good location in order to get children 10 yrs old and up to 99yrs of age. Opportumity to allow those who don't have a place to play, or those who want to learn and play music. If you have any tips or ideas regarding a studio/bldg. or anything that I shared I would appreciate some feedback, ideas and anything I can digest to help spread the opportunity. Thank you !

I used the Evan's HD Dry for a few years but then money was tight for while and I started using the Evans Genera HD and found I really preferred it cause it's got more tone IF you want it. If you dont you can easily dial it back and make it dryer with a little tuning finesse. The only difference between those 2 heads other than price is the vent holes. And those vent holes are really just drying out the sound and that takes away from the tonal versatility. And you're paying extra for that lol! I highly recommend just getting the Genera HD. It's really easy to dial in if you want it a little dryer. It took me about one practice session to get the hang of controlling the extra tone. It's not like the difference between an EC2 (clear) and a coated head.

My snare is basically a gimmick (DDrum Diablo with camo fabric), with crooked lugs. When i bought it second hand, it had a worn down batter head and crooked hoops, basically destroying the snareside. There are cuts and dents in the kettle. I actually should not have made the deal that i made that day with the bicycle fixer of a second hand drum store owner. (Also bought a worn out DW pedal with the guy. I should be abled to not make these mistakes again). Anyway. That gimmick kettle sounds pretty sweet after a little work and experience with tuning. What i do is putting the snareside ultra tight, as close to 432 hertz as you can. Thats is the old orchestra tuning. It helps a bit to prevent snare sizzle when you wanna screw around with the sound of the rest of the kit. Then i tune the batter to whatever they measured Danny Carey's snare. Its about 196-197 hertz. I use the Evans red hydraulic batter head and a 300 snareside. The hydro makes a warmer sound but it can really turn into a canon. Its got a long ping and even sharper as a rimshot. It can sound like a Lars drum but groovy, just off tone and dark. When you don't want the ping, just put on a slapklatz or a sound ring. Tuning the snare is feeling, hearing and making sure the whole kit is in tune so your snares never get rattled while hitting another drum than your snare. And like wheel truing, it takes a lot of time to master. I am right now on 80 percent of wheelbuilding mastery but just on 10 percent of understanding drum tuning. Check out how Thomas Lang slaps the skins on, sits on drum to tighten and then spends 20 minutes looking for the sound all by ear. That is pretty quick and it still sounds amazing. I spend hours tuning and trying to understand how it actually works and how to get the same thunder every time you start over. Yes a lot of failure and then all of a sudden it hits the window. And then go back to understand why it does what it does. In the end i make cheap dented drums sound like a canon. It's nice and it keeps your brain active.

Huh! I pretty much do the same thing. And I do loose a bit the snares, so that they have room for vibration - that's what they add to the sound. But something important I learned over the years is that if you dislike this ringing, you may need to tune your heads so they create a harmony. Also, if you get this annoying ring when hitting the center of the head, some lug may be unequally tightened, and vibrate differently.

I've been tuning drums since about the age of 10. While my 1960's Ludwig Supraphonic sounds good, it lacks the "magic" I've heard on other snare drums. I heard a 13" Mapex Black Panther Birch, unmic'd/live, and my friend and I looked at each other like "WTF!". That thing sounded incredible. I've heard Yamahas, DWs, Tamas, and they sound good, but what is it that makes a snare reach that "magical" sound? I had a friend who owned a Gretsch snare from the 60's. It had this odd support rod running through the middle. That thing sounded awesome! He changed the snare heads and it never sounded the same. Makes me think snare heads have sweet spot that do something special for each drum.

During the solo, after the bass drum's -""uh-1" then the snare - "bum, bum-bum-ba-bum"..Bonzo has the snares off and hits with his hands. The snare is tuned to G#. That's a great starting point. If you like it a little higher & brighter, you can always tune up, but that always seems to work fine.

great tuning i love the background music as a drummer one needs to be able to differentiate between different sounds,if a person is complaining about background music i do not expect the drummer to be able to hear ghost notes.

Preferably I hate and really hate dry snares!😂 Ahhhhhh! They just can’t cut enough for me. Remo Controlled sound X on my snare or remo ambassadors or even Remo power strokes are great snare heads! But it’s all personal preference! Great video you guys! It helped me learn something new!

Conviction Authority Confidence. That is my big takeaway here. Thanks. My practice space is in a conservatory and my neighbours can see in and definitely listen in so my confidence plummets as I am so aware of their presence. But stick on a pair of ear defenders and I can’t hear as much so I get that confidence boost to play properly instead of tickling the drums and getting terrible sounds out.

Used the principle he taught on a cheap "traps" 12" snare that comes with the kit. I had to replace the batter with a remo pinstripe and was able to achieve an expensive sounding snare. In addition, i replaced my 20" bass batter head with a remo premuffled powermax (used for marching bands), plus a very few cloth to touch the resonant heads and it sounded deep and punchy, only that it doesn't achieve a volume comparable to the regular ones.

Forgive my terrible manners earlier for failing to also say that I am going to follow your tips when I finally get myself a kit in the next couple of months - I know, I know, a kit is for life, not just for Christmas!😀 Thanks for the lessons

1st kit? I'd say, Sakae Pac-D. It's a full kit. It's only downside is kick pedal. Could have a slightly boomier kick. But hard to bypass for 644.00. Cymbals will kill you, but at least you don't have to buy hardware. I like the jellybeans: the 900 Paiste series and AAX high hat. Which cost a fortune, BUT if you take care of them, they will last forever. They're all very sharp, so use hearing protection. If you break sticks or have wood bit everywhere, you are doing it wrong. Use the tips, not the shoulder to hit as often as possible. Make it level/parallel to itself so stuff doesn't break.

TightSqueeze Jam at FB we’ll thank you sir for taking the time to give me some tips 😀 I don’t think I have access to that kit here in the UK and I haven’t even heard of it! You are right about the cymbals - always the most expensive investment. I did have a kit in my youth, but I did know what I was looking for back then. I don’t need anything big or flashy, just a tone I like.

Good video! I prefer tuning my snare with the Mashoff-method on the batter head. It has more flexibility to me, as I can better control the overtones and pitch of the snare. Can turn your snare from dry rock to a solid pop sound within seconds.

I love this session because it indicates very important technique for tuning the snare drum. Watched this like a couple three times and I have a question, what do you have say about adding patches or sticking to get a different sound?

@andreasjonsson80753 жыл бұрын
A great trick is when you have your snares were you like them they should be absolute centered from the drum bearing edge. 2. If you have more troubble than usual to tune the snare. Try taking the upper rim off and place it on a glasstable or something very flat. They go out of spec sometimes. 3. If you want a different sound out of your drum. Tune it up a tad, then detune the bolt closest to your belly. 2 full turns. Check out Steven Chen channel where he does it! Killer sound.

I make sure the lugs make contact with the hoop, do the clockwise tuning method then I try and tune both the top and bottom of my snare to a note (usually a G), Take my snare wire do it really tight then do a few turns so it’s loose then boom big sound
@samuelpalmquist21905 жыл бұрын
I get a nice deathcore crack out of my snare going table top tight plus some on the reso, the snare wires loose enough they'll jiggle a little bit if you touch them, then bringing the batter up to a full step below the reso and I always make sure I tune the head with itself being meticulous making each lugs pitch identical. Toss a moongel on that bad boy and he cuts like a knife.

2:30 I learned that you can get a good sound by loosening all the lugs and tighten them just so they're gripping the hoop. 👍nice

That’s really how you get a fat snare sound. I use that all the time. Put a little reverb on it and it’ll sound huge. That’s how the pros did it back in the day. One of the ways I should say. Simply using the drum itself. No dampeners. No rings gels or other things.

You should do this video again with a lesser quality snare drum if you haven’t already. The fact this snare in it’s basic lose setting still sounded fantastic can be off putting for people watching who may be playing with a very beginner snare drum or something mid level.

About "how you hit the drums": I found that if you dont hit the snare in the middle, you will get more of the ringing. The more you get to the middle of the head, the less it rings. I moved the snare a bit so I hit it in the middle "naturally" and it's way better now.

I love when he says to tune the resonant to "table top tight", being that could mean about anything. Also be sure to have an Earthworks microphone on your snare that costs over $1000.
