SNARE DRUM TUNING 101!

How to get a fat snare sound!

[@Unicornmayo4]

Ah the second one annoys me 😂, the beauty of every musican loves diffrent sounds I love the crack of a snare

[@Konnerkingg]

Same, I don’t know why but I can’t play if the snares are open sounding. I want them choked and crisp. I don’t want them to ring at all, I want it one and done nice and crisp

[@redx2gaming69]

Saint anger roun’ my neck

[@JAYONFUEGO]

Cracking doesn’t mean choked

[@katielowen]

Yeah he needs to tune up the bottom head still in the 2nd sound

[@Alrukitaf]

I liked the first sound.

[@The_schlobblers]

Yeah! It’s the same in my band room

[@overindulgence6168]

Or maybe it's the o ring around the entire head?

[@Theryanprim]

Several people have mentioned this Totally get it, however the snares were really choking the overall sound of the drum, and I agree the o ring does dampen it quite a bit

[@BeauTylerMakesMusic]

Was going to say it. Glad you did. 😂

[@Theryanprim]

People really were up in arms about this video lol

[@nikcrocker6380]

And the white dot

[@nikcrocker6380]

Change the head for an Evans single ply maybe non coated and just use a little moon

[@kurtanderson182]

It’s good to teach people things that they really should already know. I always disengage my snare before adjusting the knob. Makes it easier to turn

[@josephmiddleton4422]

I'd say that heavy head and O-ring on it for starters, but your point of choked snare wires is also accurate

[@Kpalmer420]

That did not sound choked in my opinion😂. Maybe try taking the O-ring off it first and then tune/adjust the wires to see how it sounds. You will get a much more accurate starting point with a non muffled surface. if it still sounds bad from there try tightening the bottom head. People often forget about the resonance head and how much of a difference it can make to the overall sound. And THEN you can add some moongel or an O-ring to taste. Hope this helps 🤙

[@joshuasy10]

Got to admire the precision of the wear on the head

[@woodchopper7962]

I find that if you loosen your snare wires tap your snare while you retighten them, you will find a sweet spot where you get the best sound

[@Theryanprim]

I totally agree!! I use the same approach

[@black_jaygaming1431]

I like open sound on drumset but when i comes to marching and concert i like the snares really tight to pop a bit

[@TweakedGarage]

I love that sound personally

[@Theryanprim]

Glad to hear it!!

[@MrVtwinTorque]

Hands down, the first supposedly choked sound sounds cleaner and also will sound less obtrusive in a mix.

[@andrewkonkey7636]

Perhaps take off the O-ring and just use a dampening gel by the top of the head. I use half an Evans gel on mine (Evans fan here) and that still gives me the sound I’m after. I’m just not that big on O-rings because it chokes the head too much. Just experiment and see what works for you! Also to the people complaining about it need to learn how to tune their drums!

[@aaronfisher7159]

Also, tightening your snare basket too tight will choke the drum as well

[@WalterdaLima]

Sounds better before in my opinion

[@jueslega]

What if my wires tension rod doesnt work

[@Coasterspot321]

Mine echos what should o do?

[@bergenjuell924]

or could it be the sound ring and the dot head?

[@roberthorton6619]

Good advice second shot put some cushion that u use for cymbals put some black tape on it place in corner

[@atstrucker]

What snare is this?

[@Theryanprim]

14x8 brass truth custom drums

[@crayrayc]

both sounds off to me

[@simonlamphee9905]

Tighten the head ?

[@samsancheziii]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! Here, it’s not a lot but Take it!! 💎 (You can now cast ice magic)

[@Drewzkii05]

Bro…your contact on that snare is impeccable🤌

[@Theryanprim]

Thank you hah

[@johnyam1906]

P77 + O Ring = Guaranteed choked snare

[@AyeBigKev]

What type of snare is that?

[@Theryanprim]

Truth Custom Drums Brass 14x8

[@pearldrummer4456]

Head choice in this case.

[@WolfgangGeisler]

Sorry I like 1st sound more

[@baskitcase73]

Get that ring off there and let that baby sing

[@Theryanprim]

I definitely do from time to time, this video caused a ton of wild comments because I left the ring on there lol. Definitely not my intention

[@The-Biggest-D]

Lars Ulrich wants to know how to make his snare sound like that

[@Victtimus]

Eq rings are great for dry pop or rock tones people should chill out.

[@Theryanprim]

I definitely agree, this video, for some reason caused a lot of chaos. Ha definitely not my intention.

[@I_play_guitar_kinda]

My snare is strangled

[@gravyblue]

Start with a new head

[@iamtheEldenFish]

I can’t tell if this is a joke or not

[@AdamHalvo]

As a metal guy, both those sound aweful for what I play, but to rach their own 😂😅

[@JRod-io3rp]

As a guitar player, I only hear my g string 😏 slightly out of tune

[@Theryanprim]

Hahahahah

[@a1saucemenace167]

Anyone else like the choked sound better?😭

[@ShaninduPerera]

Maaaan the first one is cool 😂❤the second one is pure 💩💩

[@WalterBlomquist]

Beautiful! It sounds the same…..💩

[@thegodzillaenthusiast1903]

Yeah you definitely haven't touched a snare at all..

[@shredacuda]

I hate dead ringers. Let them ring

[@regularrandom6045]

Personally i like my snare drum to sound like a little trash can

[@MisfitMods]

Just wondering what drummer wouldn’t know this? 😂

[@bassicly4250]

Duh

[@chaseloftis2735]

*snickers in guitarist* because i never have this problem

[@gamingwithgeekwares4416]

Take this over having to be in tune XD much love tho man my fingers are just to dumb for guitar so I'll stick to being a caveman banging on big circles XD

[@chaseloftis2735]

@@gamingwithgeekwares4416 lol yeah it takes shit ton of dedication to js play 6 strings lmao

[@rctubs3593]

Sounds like a cardboard box

[@LickShareSubscribe]
