How to Change the Snare Side Drumhead of a Marching Snare Drum

[@justinbrewer9776]

Your videos are on point. I've been doing this sort of stuff for the past 6 years and always like to double-check to see how other people do things. The best part is when I learn some stuff. Great videos man!

Thanks so much, Justin! I sincerely appreciate the support!

Did you say White Lithium Grease? I'm curious because I'm getting ready to change my drum heads on my snare and I usually use Vaseline but i don't know whats better ahah Vaseline is old school.

Great idea about double checking the inside of the drum hardware!

[@Drummerx5]

When putting a new head on do you need to loosen the other head at all or does it not matter?

[@robertt5478]

Should the bottom head be allowed to settle for a day or so like the batter side?

[@discotrain173]

Does tightening the batter side automatically tighten the snare side a little bit and vice versa?

[@MarlonGaldamez]

question ... why did you cut the snare guts??? thanks

[@Anthonydmusic.21]

Now should this bottom head be as "high tensioned" as the top?

[@md27100]

Anthony John Music it depends on how you want the tuning

[@danielbarajas9264]

Typically the snare side head should be higher than the batter side head.

Where can you get white lithium grease?

[@Drumlinechops]

I personally didn't cut these snare guts - I just inherited the drums this way. People tend to cut them so that the snares have less of the "buzz" sound. Different people have different opinions on the topic and it all boils down to personal preference and taste.

[@Drumlinechops]

Most hardware stores will carry it. Lowes, Home Depot, Ace, etc.

wait so for a marching snare you have to tune the top head, the snares on it , and the bottom head?? and also can you leaves the snares on the drum and tune it, without taking them completely off the drum??
