How to Get Better at Snare Drum Tuning
Tuning a snare drum is a bit like solving a puzzle. If you don’t understand how the puzzle works, it can feel impossible. Today, we’re demonstrating how to experiment in a methodical fashion. This will help you understand the cause and effect of changes in a single variable. As you experiment on your own, patterns emerge and it becomes easier to predict the outcome of a given action. This is the fastest, most comprehensive way of gaining control of your drum sound.
