Out of a lot of the videos I’ve watched about tuning my snare this one was by far the best one in helping me tune my snare the way I want. Great job!

[@benebneb]

Great video. My favorite head is the Hybrid from Evans. Some people like the 1 ply, some like the two.

[@JollyPolack]

I've never seen the finger press on the middle of the batter head before and tried it out. Made it way easier to catch lugs slightly out of tune. Great advice!

[@stevebergeron2382]

Thanks dude, this is pure genius. It’s just what I was looking for

[@trextonhaldeman323]

i havent even finished watching the video and i already know it is going to be incredibly informative. thank you very much for this!

[@zmgplayer_367_3]

Do you finger tighten the lugs first or what please help

[@trextonhaldeman323]

@@zmgplayer_367_3 sorry for not responding till now! Yes, finger tight, then continue. Sorry!

[@hamiltongomesdasilva9561]

In 8:23 and 9:55 minutes. The perfect sound of phat snare drums. The best snare drum sound is the low tunings.

[@ramilopez6921]

I really enjoyed your video I can’t wait to try it on my Piccolo metal snare. I also like to know if you have similar videos on tuning the bass drum and the toms?

[@The_Other_Ghost]

The Austin Stone church! This reminds me of the videos of Mark from the stone church of austin.

[@HarleyRider123]

Great video! Thanks for the tips and tricks! Question, what size are the snare drums that you were using? Also, what type of wood is the wood snare?

[@shanepeck5180]

Mate your tips actually will m worked my snare sound deep and as the best crack to it

[@zmgplayer_367_3]

Hey man could you help me out cause idk if I finger tighten the heads or what to do

[@paislibee]

Thanks for these Tips...

Dear Philip, My name is Dalton Essary and I am a freshman studying Music Business at Dallas Baptist University. I was planning on sending a letter but was unsure of the address to send it to so I thought I would give this a try! I myself attend Stonegate church and serve as a drummer on Wednesday nights for their youth nights. I am originally from kansas and have been playing drums for 6 years now and began playing at my church my freshman year in our youth band. I played on that for 4 years throughout high school, and the Lord blessed us with such an incredible staff and group of students. It was incredible. I have always been very indesicive in my passions, but for the last 6 years it has been so clear to me through experiences and through prayer and discernment that the Lord has placed music on my heart and in my life for no other reason to glorify him and the passion he has given me for doing that is incredibly large. I am contacting you to see if there is any chance at all that I would be able to grab coffee with you and just talk and hear from you on your experience thus far leading worship and playing drums/recording albums thus far and what that has been like for you from a practial standpoint as well as a spiritual standpoint. Since that is exactly what I want to do with my life, I thought there could be nothing better than to sit don and get advice from someone who is currently doing that! I completely understand you guys are very busy, but if there is anyway we could set this up, that would be incredible. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for your heart for worship and leading others for the purpose of glorifying the Lord. God bless you and thank you!!! - Dalton Essary (here is my cell 913-209-3792)

Are you into black metal?

[@rushxanthemtcg5607]

Hail Satan

[@mercerfamilyadventures4613]

never bother to say this.. but great vid!

[@Rumankhan121]

Hey there... I have a major problem and I'm hoping you can help. My snare wire doesent sit on the resonance head when the head is tightened table top tight, the wire is at least 1mm over the resonance head parallely not touching the head at any point. Alternatively it touches when tension rods near the throw off and butt plate are detune. Can you tell me why this happens and what should I be doing to correct this....

[@gabe1655]

maybe the snare bed on your shell doesnt support the wires you're using. try some other ones

[@RMHendrickson]

Current Banter Exactly. I have a Super 30 on my snare, but the snare bed needs to be widened to accommodate it, which I made sure the builder did when he built my kit.

[@mohddalibinzali1165]

ruman khan, and your snare sound like crap also isnt it? No matter what tuning you done, it has overtone and sound very sharp like different frequency that hurt ears. I knew because i use to be like that back in the day. I just bought the new one now.. I put that old in store room.

[@joshuatbennett]

What’s your process for mic’ing your snare? I get the basics of doing the top. Do you mic the bottom? I’ve never tried but heard of putting the mic in the middle of the strands. True for you?

[@ThursdayBeats]

hey man. try mic’ing the top of the snare and the side shell. you’ll get that thin cracking snare sound.

[@joshuatbennett]

@@ThursdayBeats Awesome thanks for your input ✌🏼

[@kevinkraftable]

does putting a stick under the snare wires not put more pressure on the hoop? which in turn gives more tension and probably a different pitch around those lugs?

[@domg9186]

No because the throw off is completely loose..

[@kevinkraftable]

@@domg9186 even completely loose there will be tension. even a slight amount can throw off tuning.

[@Creatine_]

@@kevinkraftable pretty sure unless it’s not touching the head it’s good

[@Pablotercero90]

Have you tried a 14x8 snare, i think thats the best size for the sound you want

[@extremelycreativeusername3190]

i have a 12x5.5 and surprisingly it has the perfect deep crack sound

[@mohddalibinzali1165]

Yea true, 14×8 is very big fat sound..

[@matthewbreeden7748]

How do I go about getting a hair metal sound because thats what I want and I’ve done so much stuff and it just isn’t happing help

[@samchoate1719]

Search Mike Luke 80’s snare drum

[@hombreenojado]

I used to just yank the internal dampeners.

[@johnkavaudio4695]

Congratulations

[@alyxl4mb904]

I’ve never had a snare with the dampener

[@brianlolohea5825]

Does tightening the snare wires tight take away buzz?

[@radupopescu7661]

Yes

[@chrispinkerton4895]

Yes, but if tightened too much you might accrue a hum within a certain frequency.

[@doorkeepers5949]

Its funny when he hit the drums and smile

[@sav10r11]

Just about everyone I’ve seen on these tuning videos never do the true”star” tuning . They’ll do a lug then go right next too the last one they tuned,then go somewhere else but never the star pattern.

[@sophialow340]

I did it with the Stodoys plans.

[@ikeponce98]

i didn’t know tony parker played drums

[@nospoon17]

Love the sound but opposite of the sound I use haha

[@FRNKNSTNmusic]

isn't that what makes life so great?

[@theoneandonlyzako]

I Love it! but that ring is horrendous! def need a dampener

[@FRNKNSTNmusic]

Listening to this video is like crack

[@thomasanguita6568]

Damn boi that snare got a phatt crack

[@jjm9741]

your snare is not cracking to use for Rock as I was hoping. make a good marching band snare though.

[@nannettebattista6224]

I have done very similar with Woodprix designs.

[@thomasralfenson2684]

Thousands of lifetime projects with Woodglut plans.

[@vicstyle777]

To much ring

[@AustinPetDetective]

NO Crack snare here only SHIT.

[@TheHarrisal21]

🤣🤣🤣

[@alexdrumsdci]

F A T

[@ryanwilson8629]

Horrendous sound

[@kas36spires]

Great sounds here. Exactly what sound do you go for?

[@vicstyle777]

Sounds bad

[@teeth87]

Sounds like shit 😂

[@TheHarrisal21]

Had a buddy tell a drummer that before. The guy was bragging over his snare and my buddy was chewing a slim jim and mid bite said his snare sounds like it dropped out a dog's ass.
