Why did he go home to get more water when there's a sea behind him

[@BrandonScottDrums]

There wasn’t a ladder from the cliff down to the ocean haha and plus the salt water is probably worse for the snare then normal water. 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Ayundaru]

@@BrandonScottDrums good point. Btw you should reach out to Zach grooves and make a video with him. 👌👌

[@davidg1612]

The salt would've permanently damaged the snare plus it would've made it even heavier, further deadening the sound.

[@ryancox5097]

In all seriousness, you should experiment with this more. People put rivets on cymbals and drape metal beads across them, to alter their sound. Try filling the drum with grains of uncooked rice. Or maybe popcorn. Or maybe live bees. Slaughter your enemies and fill it with their tears. Get creative.

[@krisz9490]

Damn

[@NLind]

When I was really young and before I had my first drumset I used unpopped kernels in an empty coffee can for a snare, complete empty one for a rack tom and ice cream bucket for a floor ton/kick. And my mom's pan lids for cymbals, they still have the battle scars to prove it!

[@benjaminlum5894]

For those who haven't figured it out, a snare with enough water will act like a snare drum with the snare wires down. This is because the water absorbs the vibration of the lower diaphragm and therefore the snare wires won't hit the bottom diaphragm as hard. Too much water, though, is like what he said, a practice pad, because the top diaphragm will be bouncy like a water balloon.

Hey Brandon I have a solution for the lack of snare sound, Remo makes these things called "rhythm lids" that just pop on to a five gallon bucket, the snare attaches underneath the head at the TOP, which means you can fill the bucket all the way to the top with water and still get a snare sound, plus you can do it indefinitely. Those Home Depot buckets are cheap as dirt! You can also experiment by drilling holes in those cheap plastic buckets without having to worry about ruining a snare drum, you could do a lot of experimenting for cheap!
