Matt Savage: Tune a Marching Snare Gut | Remo

[@josnardstorm]

The right pencil was not parallel with the left, which means that the strings were vibrating with different lengths. This means that they were tuned to be out of tune with the pencils gone.

[@harrypar1]

I think these two pencils should be placed parallel...

[@snareromie5295]

harrypar1 same lol

[@gormygorm]

The pencils were not placed parallel which made it so that when you removed the pencils, the snares were out of tune because much like a guitar, the intonation changed from string to string.

[@Sk8erguy1996]

I would recommend using a guitar pick for tuning :) works a lot better

[@jpritch2]

I use a guitar pick... makes it easier to hear the pitch,

[@lukewooley1390]

jpritch 2 his fingers are as fat as a bass picks width

[@rmercer]

is that a double snare?

[@brianmalexander]

@Richard Peters Marching snares are designed for precision and articulation. If you had 3-5 or more normal snares playing on the field a lot of the articulation would be lost. It would start to sound mushy or dirty.

[@davidleon6233]

can it djent?

[@wtfpercussion]

Great video, thanks!

[@elilovestrainsplanesmore1101]

do metal snares make sound differences for the drum?

[@TealTactics]

+1, what would these sound like on a normal snare drum?

[@jeromieb038]

@@TealTactics it would sound like a snare drum just not as rattlely look at old marching snare drum or concert snare drum most of those drums have guitar string as snares pipe snare drum have metal snares.

[@hunteralexander9791]

Some of my guts on one side are not make contact with the bottom head but on the other side they are. Any ways to adjust this?

[@angelkf87]

snare guitar?

[@ethanmccraw7296]

I just got a new Yamaha snare drum and I've put new hands on it and everything but it's ringing.. Is this how I would fix the ring?

[@zeazy164]

Ethan McCraw tune to a pitch

[@ethanmccraw7296]

flamingtatertot lol that was a year ago. Thanks though. The ring was just the resonance

[@itsgussy]

What is that on the inside of the snare, on the under side of the top head?

[@ryderalley4853]

It’s a pipe drum, another set of snares!

[@kylepozorski8635]

I've always wondered what the black nubs are on the bottom. Can somebody explain please?

[@EpicProvider]

+Kyle Pozorski they are called "feet" they prevent the drums rim from touching the ground and protects the resonant head.

[@kylepozorski8635]

TheNavalNation Ok thanks, I was wondering because some of the yamaha drums i have include the feet but some don't. Thanks

[@MrRadar02]

Kyle Pozorski your a dipshit

[@okalright3941]

@@MrRadar02 if you're gonna post a mean reply atleast learn some grammar.

[@funkynotayunkie]

wow, youst realized how ignorant i am. I"ve been playing drums for couple of years and tought all snares have metal snares. It would be great if regular snares would have this much options with snare mechanism :)

[@rizkifajar8749]

what is under head

[@emiliosanchez-harris4126]

+Rizki Fajar i was wondering the same thing.My snare resonates too much.I've tried all the tunings and i have a control screen but it doesn't help much.Im just now seeing most snares have that thing so im thinking it could be that that dampens resonance.Can someone plz tell me wat its called?

[@Lorux777]

A little late but the resonant head is the Remo Clear Ambassador

[@tommy2122108]

It's a multi-timbre snare system. It's designed to offer multiple tonal possibilities in one drum. I personally am not a fan of them.

[@MrRadar02]

A Scotty snare system.

[@drksdofthmoon]

where does the tape go?

[@vibingwithtj7799]

Anyone knows what that is inside??

[@ryderalley4853]

Another set of snares

[@mathias841]

No sound demo ???

[@mathew_chank]

Y

[@jaydenscott1339]

Y do they all got to be the same pitch

[@alexxchavezee]

They don't. No one can hear the difference.

[@okalright3941]

So it sounds right and they're all st the same tension

[@handroll7923]

He tells you at 3:16

[@richardpeters2344]

Tell me this...why doesn't anybody in marching bands use metal snares and LOOSEN THEM UP so they SOUND like snare drums not some kind of tom tom???

[@GussieBabes]

Listen to a pipeband snare. They sound so much better. They are marching snares, but they have real metal snares on both heads.

[@anony_meows]

they are used mostly in outdoor settings, with a more rudimental style of playing, and meant to be played by a line, not one person, so they need that characteristic short decay high pitch sound to sound good with a drumline. using metal snare would result in a more streamlined snare membrane sound but very muddy when played by more than 1 person.

[@droadcman]

Wow, I bet they never thought of that. Maybe you should offer your tuning services to the Blue Devils so that their drum line will sound good.

[@flarfatron2190]

Because pipe band snares sound like crap

[@zhongxina8426]

Are you serious? Is there really a need for tunable snare strands?

[@flarfatron2190]

Yeah, because when they’re not even there is a different amounts of tension on each strand, possible causing choked snare guts, or too loose guts.
