Converting a Drum Set Snare into an Orchestra Snare

In this video I show you how to convert a drum set snare drum (a Dialtune NOB snare) into a drum suitable for orchestra playing. I talk about changing the heads to thinner Diplomats and changing the snare system as well as tuning the drum.
I compare newly tweeked Dialtune against a Pearl Philharmonic NOB 4"x 14" snare.
I try 2 different types of snares on the Dialtune: Grover 13" SX Orchestral Silver/Bronze snares (model GRO-13SX) and Black Swamp wrap-around snares (model W14CS)
