Great stuff! being a sound engineer, I experiment tons with the microphone side of things, but having these tricks is great too! I've had drummers strike the drums with mallets and brushes/sticks at the same time, two in each hand, and use all manner of items to strike the drums (toys, utensils, weapons, hands etc...) ...have fun out there everyone!

There are so many factors you can work on when experimenting with snare sounds. Just as you mentioned there are no limits 😄 everything is possible and in the end it doesn‘t matter too much how it looks as long as it sounds good Thanks for sharing your experience! 👍🏻

@@rudobuquadrant super duper depends! Beyer 201, and Opus88 are two of my all time faves for a more accurate representation, but also the DPA 4099 also is world class for that. Beyer M88, provides a solid foundation for low tunings, but also a vintage Shure 546 for vibe, Beta57 for modern metal, and I've really been diggin the AE2300 and a bunch of the Audio technica stuff for rugged touring.

I actually was considering buying a 'reggae' snare, not knowing that removing the actual snare is the secret to that sound. I also really like that bolts trick - that is one of those sounds I thought only drum machines.or some kind of electronic special effects gadget did that, I am most def gonna try those. Lol and the upside down one, when I started learning that was how I thought it had to be until a musician friend visited me and told me that I was playing the snare upside down, lucky I never damaged anything though.

Great informative Video. THX. I'v been wrestling with Snare drum tuning for a few years now. I resurrected playing drums in 2019 after 50 Year Hiatus [1969 as an 18 yo]. I've tried many Batter heads in my frustration to attain that "Sweet Spot" in my DW Nickel over Brass 14 X 6.5 Snare. Most recently using a Evans HD Dry and tuning it high. I will try going with an AMBY coated as so many have recommended to go with. The Bell Splash sound was terrific. I stumbled over a Hack ... Try placing a 16" Tom batter head in the snare stand and putting the Snare atop of that (the Tom batter head will sit on only 2 of the 3 stand's legs). Or put the snate atop of a Floor Tom (16" X 14 deep) and play the snare. Can you tell us: How was the Snare Side Head tuned? Table Top Tight?

A majority of people on forums shout about their ideal snare sound, and lots ask "What is the best snare sound and how do I get it?" The few pros on there will say that it doesn't exist. Until you're playing a song or piece of music, there is no ideal snare sound (or bass drum, or guitar...).

I don’t like the snare upside down idea because of the risk of damage. I have an 1930s vintage ‘Premier Dominion’ snare drum which has two snares, one on the top skin and one on the reso, like some marching drums. I also have one of those Australian kangaroo skins on it, from Kentville drums. It has an awesome sound, but is so versatile with either bottom snare, top snare, both snares or no snares. The top snare is a little like the ‘upside down’ drum, but without the risk of damage. The main advantage is the snares are really sensitive, even with a very, very light touch 😎 oh… it has a really crazy shell bearing edge angle, too. About 80 degrees or something….
@ArtOfDrumming2 жыл бұрын
Having this extra sensitivity sounds like a huge pro for your snare! I don‘t know why they had things like that back in the day and don‘t offer these options today. For example well working internal muffling systems are great and back in the day every snare was equipped with one. Today it has becoma more of a rare thing. There are definitely some ideas they could bring back to life in my opinion 😄

@@christophervincent3520 - I believe kangaroos were so massively overpopulated they were becoming a major menace and so there was an extensive program of culling them to control numbers. I think using the hides to make drum skins, among many other things, was seen as a great way to utilise the culled animals - and they make really excellent drum skins, having one of the toughest hides of any animal. Trouble is, after all those terrible bush fires of a few years ago, I'm not sure if kangaroo skins are still as abundant as they once were...? 😲
