With this video i'd like to give you a little guide to a great snare sound. The snare i use to show you my way of snare drum tuning is a 14 x 6,5 Ludwig Supralite snare drum. With this snare i'd like to show you that it doesn't always have to be an expensive snare drum to get a great snare sound.
Snare of my choice: bit.ly/2YnW8OM
Interesting bits and pieces:
0:27 Ludwig Supralite Snare Drum
0:40 Change the batter head
0:48 Remo CS Coated Black Dot
0:51 CS stands for great sound :-D
1:07 Nice Transition
1:13 The resonance head
1:20 Little Stick Trick
2:00 Back to the batter head
2:32 Great Rock Snare
3:17 Rock snare with muffling
4:10 How to get a high pitch snare for funk
4:29 Nice Cracky Funk Snare
5:25 From High to a verly low tuning
6:26 Take care of your snare wire tension with a low snare drum

You don't have to spend a fortune to have a great sounding snare drum, this is a perfect example of that

Yup this my main snare I took the string off and put straps on it I don’t use moon gels on it either I love the wide open tone you don’t need expensive drums to sound good also . I have a Tama super star classic maple drum set that I love I prefer them over more expensive drums and with this snare added to it sounds awesome !!!

@xaverk Жыл бұрын

As long as the drum shell is round and there is no problem with the bearing edges or strainer/snare wires, you‘ll get your desired sound even with relative cheap drums. An important information.

Awesome video. Love your vibe. You're absolutely right about snare wire tension and tone. I like them loose, to get that full body, but how do you keep the snares from rattling on?

You should discuss your micing techniques. Also I hear a slight compressor kicking in on harder hits.

His high tuning looks like it’s around 390 reso head and around 300 batter head. Shoot for a f sharp or g. For a fatter sound try reso @ 375 and batter @ 275

Excellent choice of drum, but poor low tuning. You have to loosen the reso head also to achieve better low tuning.

This might sound incredibly stupid and shallow, but what's a good alternative to that batter head that wouldn't have a giant, obtrusive logo always staring up at me? lol

@markr1550 3 ай бұрын

They all have a logo. I use Evans, not quite as large a logo. I like them a little more than Remo, very easy to tune, and they hold it, but I tune to specific pitches.
