Ep. 28 The Effects of Cranking the Snare Side Head

Support Sounds Like a Drum on Patreon:   / soundslikeadrum  

It seems like the majority of drummers who have a go-to method for snare side tuning tend to crank the head up about as high as they can. This "table top tight" approach can yield some great sounds but it can be limiting and often yields annoying overtones that have to be suppressed with some form of muffling.

In episode 28 we explore the effects of working with a cranked snare side drumhead; how the snares respond, the sustain of the note, and the relationship with the batter head.
