You guys (and 3.8% girls) r amazing

A thicc man using a thicc drum key to tune a thicc snare

"I don't do the star pattern because I don't have the concentration to remember where I left off" I have never related to anything as hard as I relate to this.

"Finger tightening, is when you tighten it with your fingers"

I like you’re snare like a lot, but you’re Toms are like the most heavenly thing I’ve ever heard, so you should do a Tom tuning video too.

4:23 "alright close enough, whatever" Everytime

That knobby thingy next to the snare on/off lever is actually technically called the poop sock stankometer just so you know brother

"alright, whatever" is the energy you want for tuning your snare

My snare sounds like I'm just swinging at the air because I don't have a drum set. Wait...

The knob is the "snare strainer adjustment screw" but that's way too long of a name. Knob makes more sense.

I don’t even do drums but this is so satisfying to watch....

I used to have my wife’s boyfriend tune my snare but now I CAN DO IT MYSELF. Thanks bro. 💪🏽

The most entertaining video on how to tune a snare ever made....legend

Bold of you to assume that my wallet is heavy enough not to bounce off the snare

Zack: "Now we have this sound..." Ads: *LETS PLAY RAID SHADOWLEGENDS*

4:16 C H O P S

“If you aren’t new here, and you haven’t like the vid-“ *me panicking to like it before he says it*

It's called the snare adjustment screw to Yamaha. And I've never seen anyone else call it something. I like to just call that the strainer and the whole thing the throw-off. Can I have my kiss?

Who would've thought a snare drum tuning video would be so fun to watch

Zack. You are a very clear communicator. So many tutorials on this, like a 25 minutes tutorial on “how to tune your snare in 3 minutes” - 25 minutes! Or a 2 minutes video tells you almost nothing. But you are concise, you always get to the point directly in a down to earth way. And the sound from your kit, your groove and chops are exceptional. Great job!

just played this random video cause i was bored. going through a lot right now but you were able to just take my mind off and just make me laugh. been watching you for a while and really appreciate everything you do. alway keeping a smile on my face. never stop what you’re doing!

We love you man. You’re about to break 100k subs! So sick. Your videos enhance quality of life for us.

This is the best tuning the snare tutorial I have ever seen. Thank you so much for this.

Thanks for this. My snare sounds like it is full of mashed potatoes rn

I love your C O N T E N T ! Your energy is just something else man, and I love it. Is in between being relatable to drummers and also being your goofy self. Keep it up bro

that's a pretty phat snare wire dawg, loving the content edit: lets not overlook the fact that for a really gud snare sound you need gud heads and a good quality shell

Zack is the best/funny youtuber man should have million subs good vid

I swear I love this channel, most underrated drum channel on KZfaq

This is hands down the best snare drum tuning video that exists. So many people are strict with following a specific process in tuning like if you don't do it correctly then you're fucked. This video is more like I do it this because I like it and you explain things as it is. Keep it up dude!

“So we back in the mine, got our pickaxe swinging from 2:05”

This is the first snare drum tuning video that I've watched that has actually helped me. Thanks.

I never thought a drum tuning video could be so entertaining, great work!

This dude has ms dying 🤣🤣🤣 I'm a guitarist and this man got me hooked on drum videos

Step 1: have a DW snare drum Step 2: be ZackGrooves Step 3: profit

Thanks for this video! It reminded me to tune my snares and your “top for feel and bottom for tone” idea really helped me out!

I've been here since 2k subs and really loved your stuff during quarantine and it took my mind of all the bad stuff going on in the world. I thought you were really underrated and it's so good to finally see you at 100k. Good job man keep it up.

Do another "Drumming to MY SUBSCRIBERS' Music" It was amazing!

Awesome, I've been looking for a tutorial and this is the exact sound I'm looking for too!

this has to be the funniest snare tuning video I have ever watched! thx dude!

Congrats on 100K my guy. Loving the content. You've helped me grow up.

Thats a pretty interesting take on tuning your snare. Love your approach; I totally agree on your top/bottom head philosophy and despite of getting to a similar tune, I get to it in a different way.. I’m more punk/rock oriented and am always flipping the top head tuning to be either tight for a nice response (on fast stuff) or very loose for booming sound like Bonham’s

Zack, I just wanna thank you for creating this channel. I dig your humor and skill as a drummer. I’m a grown ass 36yr old man and was a self taught guitar and bass player and Dj / Beat maker. And even since I was a teenager I always wanted to okay the drums. Unfortunately we couldn’t afford them and at the time Mom Dukes wasn’t having that noise lol. Now I have 3 kids of my own who are finding themselves through music as I once did and my son is wanting to learn to play drums and has taking a liking to his big brothers trumpet! I’m stoked about it and now see a huge opportunity to fulfill my dream of learning drums and also learning with my son. Watching your videos has helped me see the enjoyment and priceless chance to bond on another level with my kids. Thanks Zack, keep them coming bro! I grew up in Detroit and idolized Dilla and Black Milk and SV. I finally realized the love of music is what drove them to be as great as they are. Big respect young man! ... that emo bit had me dead. One love

as a pianist who has found gigs as a drummer I def needed this. thanks man!

I really liked that you went through so much details including the knob adjustment in order to find the perfect tune for you. Dude you are a meme lord and also a great musician! I'm glad that i found your channel! Keep it up! C h o p s👌

I need one for every other drum ever known to man now.

Next video: how the hell do you get that sound with just one microphone

Almost 100k. Great job man. I love the content and keep up the grind good sir.

Your the best drummer I heard/seen on KZfaq all year!

yo theres no way this was uploaded 20 seconds ago

Damn, posted 19 seconds ago... never been this early...

Thank you SOOOO much for this video I swear I'm subbed for LIFE

Glad i have witnessed the growth of such channel of a youtuber jus being himself no clickbaits or gimmicks

YESS!! More tutorials please!

Star pattern? Pfft try the “Zack Squiggle”

Glad to see this channel blowing up. I'm not even a drummer, i just dig your vids

Absolutely incredible mr. Grooves

I should go to bed. its late here in germany xD

The hit test at 4:05 was hilarious 😂 when you sped it up Idk if you were intentionally going for a marching type cadence, but that you definitely became a Jedi master P.S. I wanna call out that you have 99.9k subs before you hit 100k congratulations bro can’t hug you in real life but I’ll just hug my phone instead 🤟🏽

A deep DW shell and the biggest damn wire you can find. A man after my own heart. You rule, man. Keep up the good work.

This video legitimately saved me, thank you so much

Pro tip: Tune the snare side tighter for less ring. As contradictory as that sounds, when the the snare side skin is loose it vibrates more and thus creates more ring.

“I like it ridiculously tight” Damn bruh

I don't play drums but I watch his channel for his positive energy! He's having fun making music.

CONGRATS ON 100K DUDE ! YOU'RE A LEGEND ! 😎

"I like it very tight" - The Zack

Can u make tutorial of how to tune yourself to get a gf?

One of the best drummers and also good at perceptions!

A snare drum tuning video that's also entertaining! Thanks Zack! You da man bro!

Actually the "Snare adjuster" is called a snare strainer adjustment screw. Where's my kiss Zack??? ;)

Zack's gf, mom, or roommate (idk what your life situation is) opens the pantry to find it empty...."ugh, Zack must be practicing again."

I’ve been wanting this vid for a loooong time

ur grooves r just amazing

I have a THICC drum key 😂😂 edit: Oh shoot it is actually thicc no joke

i would pay money to have this guy just jam for an hour

I’m always coming back to this video whenever I tune my snare

The snare tuning video I’ve been looking for my whole life. You da man

me when the top head is detuned: oh hey, that's cool. *zack proceeds to punch the drum head* me: *with a disgusted scream* NOOOOOOOO!!!

it's called the "flong", or "flongie-long" as his friends call him

Best snare drum tuning video I have seen....

2:55 is the exact, precise, identical way I feel about sickass snare tones. Euurgggheerghh by body is ready for the glorious atonal thwunk

That’s a big as jar of peanut butter. Edit: that’s an even bigger ass jar of powder peanut butter

Do you recommend buying a whole kit or buying Each drum separately?

I watched this purely for the content. I've been playing 7 years on an electric kit (although whenever I get the chance to use an acoustic I do). Congrats on 100k subs too!

Dude you helped me so much! I was looking for that high not too high snare and rim shot Travis Barker sound! Love your videos, keep up the amazing work!

I remember when my ex told me to grow up. To be fair, I didn’t like her video.

*Me who owns an electric drum set:* Is this some sort of peasent joke I don't understand

Love this video . i've been obsessed with most types of percussion all my life . i'm always tapping something and always have . listening to music, and fantasizing about playing on stage, i'm always the drummer . and even though i used to hang with bands, when i was in one playing guitar, in my younger days, i've never even sat down at the drums . life is weird you know..

I've watched 100 videos of like Dumeo and what not, so far this is the only video that truly made my snare sound good

Me likey this video! Very informational Zack, thank you!

LOVE YA KID !.That was highly entertaining and you killing it on the skins

Why is this dude hilarious for no reason? 😂 lol love you bro. Keep it up with the great content 💪🏼

Dude I get so excited when you drop a new video lol. Best drum channel on KZfaq. Love you maneeeeee *chops*

Congrats on 100k subs! Thank you for the tutorial on snare tuning!
