This particular tuning has started to become a favorite of mine. Trying it with this 15” x 6” Maple shell with a new Evans UV2 on it! Let’s get into it. This tuning is built on a well-tuned snare side head and properly tensioned snare wires. With that said, the snare side head is tight and pretty close to glass. The snare wires have an appropriate amount of tension that is not too tight or loose and allows the snare wires to breathe and not sound choked! This process allows the snare drum to have sensitivity and articulation while in this higher tuning. The batter-side tuning is a little more involved. For starters, I equally “finger-tighten” the tension rods as tight as possible until I can’t turn them anymore with the nub of these two Snareweight speedy drum keys. After the figure-tightening, I use quarter turns to add more tension to the drum. This technique provides enough tension on the drum head and ensures you hear the shell and drum head working together. The secret sauce for this process is the drum key technique and drum head choice. The drum key technique allows me to know where I am tension-wise and know how much more I need to go when getting to a desired sound. The Evans UV2 coated snare drumhead features prominent attack, shorter sustain, medium brightness, and highly enhanced durability. This 15” x 6” Maple 8-ply snare drum tensions up fast, so locking down these aspects is essential for me not to over-crank the drum, which would cause it to sound choked. Love you. Okay. Byeeeee. 🥁🤓❤️ — #testabeatdrums #thedrumsultant #drumtuning #snaredrum #snare #drummer #vibe #geartok #drumtok #process #technique #fixxerupper #tuning #sound #CapCut #keeponlearning #florida #orlando #drumtuning #techtiptuesday #tensioning #tipsandtricks #drumhack #drumsultant #techtip #maintenance

Clear drum heads are so misunderstood because they all get thrown into the same category. What we sometimes forget is that each drum head may look the same but depending on the manufacturer can do something different to even the same drum. For example, although the Remo Pinstripe and Evans EC2S look and sound very similar they are made very differently. Each company has a slightly different process in how they make their drum heads and what polyester film they use for it. In addition, they have different constructions as well. Evans has a slightly formed “pre-tensioned” collar and Remo has a completely unformed “blank canvas” collar. Each has its advantages and disadvantages but all of these factors change how we approach tuning them. This is where the real job gets done because if we have a preexisting option about certain drum heads we are going to approach it all wrong. We need to be willing to approach it in a way that still gets us the sound we need. This may come to us adjusting how we work with certain drum heads to get the same sound. Even as simple as stretching out a specific brand more than another because that’s what it needs. In the end, we all will play what we want to play. All I’m suggesting is to have an open mind to how you are getting the sound you need no matter the drum heads. The drum head shouldn’t matter because, in the end, you see the one creating the sound and tuning it. The drum head is only a tool to help you achieve it. Just a thought. Love you, guys. Okay! Bye. 🥁🤓👊🏻❤️✌🏻 — #testabeatdrums #thedrumsultant #drumtuning #snaredrum #snare #drummer #vibe #geartok #drumtok #process #technique #fixxerupper #tuning #sound #CapCut #keeponlearning #sunday #perspective #drumtuning #practice #spacethefinalfrontier #drumheads #musicaldecisions

Few things can affect a snare drum sound more than what type of snare wires we use on that snare drum. Depending on the snare beds on our snare drum, a high count of wires can sound very loose when tight. A smaller snare wire count can provide you with more control while creating the sounds you are looking for. Even the material and length of the wires can affect the sensitivity, snappiness, brightness, or darkness of the sound that the snare drum will make. All of these aspects of snare wires are something we don’t tend to think about too much and then wonder why we are not getting the sound we want. Finding the right set of wires starts with the snare bed, as mentioned before. If you don’t know what a snare bed is, it is “a slight depression in the bearing edge of a drum that allows the snare wires to rest against the drum's head.” Finding out how deep and wide the snare bed on your snare drum is will dictate what count and style of snare wires you will put on that specific snare drum. Snare Wire options should be specific to each snare drum because each is different. It’s one of the things that are made differently because each builder does them in their way. For this reason, we shouldn’t just slap any set of snare wires on a snare drum. Take the time to find out the best potential fit for your snare drum so you can get the most out of it. I would love to hear from you guys. Do you have a go-to set of wires? Does it change for each snare drum, or is it the same for all of them? Let’s talk about it in the comments. Just a thought.
