Snare Tuning Cheat Codes!

I’m not one for “magic bullet/one size fits all” approaches to anything in music. But honestly, 400hz on a snare reso ALWAYS sounds good. We critically underestimate the importance of the bottom snare head and look to the batter side to be the solve for our less-than-perfect tone. Try it, get a tunebot or any of those drum tuner phone apps and set 400hz on your reso and see what happens!

This the reason I bought a tune bot and tried 400hz on the bottom head last week, life changed 🙏 haven’t been happy with snare recording in my new place but now I couldn’t be happier 🙌

This is so awesome hear!!

As Rob Brown once said "once the bottom head is cranked, you can sit the tom head anywhere you want it!" So true!!

[@EliGreenDrums]

Pretty much. Although I don’t think 400 super cranked. But it’s easy to over do it!

[@XeRo333]

@EliGreenDrums If you can get it higher than 400 Hz, then yes, by all means, crank it up. I've managed to get higher than 400Hz. But I just choose to stop at 400 so I don't snap the bottom head or anything.

I was tuning the top side lug frequency to 261Hz. but the note not on C. Do I did the wrong step? Thank you.

[@EliGreenDrums]

The note listed is the pitch of the lug, not the fundamental note of the drum!

[@ryo9849]

@EliGreenDrums Thank you very much for your share❤️
