Here's a video to help give you an idea of how I set a snare up from scratch.
Grab your snare and follow along, or skip to whichever part is you need. I've got reference pitches, Tune-Bot readings, and some tips for getting your snare wires dialed perfectly.

I recommend using notes as basis for your tuning so you remember exactly where your snare is at when your changing heads or when your lugs loosen. I use a pitch pipe app for reference since i dont have a tune bot.

Great video. Your snare sounds fantastic. That's exactly where I like it too. 👍🥁🥁🥁

My guess is the bottom head is actually around the 321. When I tune mine it sits around 360-375. My top head is around 265-295….and your tones sound similar to mine.

Hz? Lug Pitch? I Like snare Side 330-360.400hz is way to high,it chokes the drum in most cases.Batter 220-250hz mostly

@@texxhexxmm 400 isn’t too high on the snare side at all. Many professionals use that setting. Gives a super sensitive snare response

Thanks! I think I keep a lower tension snare side head than you, the rest seems the same. And snare wire tension, I’ve definitely gone through more than one iteration of improvement there, bad settings can choke out the drum and even give weird overtones, I find. Good point to bring up.

Cool Video!!! That reading on the bottom head does seem low. I've got my 6.5 Black Beauty At 400 Hz reso and 293 Hz Batter. I'm using DrumTune Pro on my phone. Would have been nice to see you using the Black Beauty for this Vid. Maybe you can do another with that one!!

@ColeParamore Жыл бұрын

Agreed, probably a misread. I kind of want to redo this one for other reasons regardless, and if I do I'll probably use the BB.

210hz on bottom?? I say wrong Reading!;) But would be interessting with Tunings below 300hz.Did you choke the opposite head?

@ColeParamore Жыл бұрын

Quite possible. Wrong readings aren't an infrequent occurrence with the TB in my experience. It was consistently popping up though and with the top head muted. Regardless, top head is barely engaged when hitting the bottom head on a snare. I'd go with the pitch reference on this one!

@zululDrummer Жыл бұрын

it is indeed 210hz. i usually go for around A3 at 220hz, 300+ seems super tight idk

@timhoffmann8262 Жыл бұрын

Yeah, I think G# is right, but one octave higher! Unfortunately the tunebot shows until 400Hz, not higher.. So I think you reso head is around 420Hz ;)

@stephenplotnick5133 Жыл бұрын

Why not tune the bottom head while you have the snare wires off? Then you would not have to put a stick under them. Also, the Tune Bot instructions require muting the opposite side head while tapping at the lugs. But you did get a good sound.

Because then I wouldn't have the opportunity to demonstrate the trick. 😉
