If you feel like your snare sounds mediocre, the tuning strategies we’re covering today will solve that for you and get your drum sounding professional. Today we’re tuning up a super basic, cheap drum to show you that you absolutely CAN make any snare drum sound great. This is snare tuning 101, and maybe even 201. We’re going to get your snare in tune and sounding amazing by covering top head tuning, resonant head tuning, and snare tension optimization. We’re also troubleshooting common issues that come up with snare drums, like… Getting rid of annoying ring without using muffling, deadening a low-tuned snare without muffling, and using a special trick to get rid of any kind of ring without choking out your drum. If your snare is cheap, know that you can make it sound way better than you’d think with some basic tuning skills. Enjoy!
We’re also comparing a metal snare with a wood snare, an 8 lug snare with a 10 lug snare, steel shell versus maple shell, and 6.5” depth vs 5.5” depth. These two drums we’re tuning up today are different in every way, regardless of “cheapness.” I hope your snare will relate more or less to one of these so that you’ll learn some strategies for approaching the snare sound you’ve been looking for. Whether you’re wanting high and ringy or low and deep…or anywhere in between… these methods will get you there. We troubleshoot every issue that comes our way, and we don’t stop until we get the sound we want. That’s why this video is 27 minutes long. :)
