Tuning my Noble & Cooley Snare Drum
Вставка

- A real quick video describing the relationship of the top and bottom heads of my Noble and Cooley snare drum. It’s a solid shell, so it sounds wonderful because of the way it’s built, but it also has a lot to do with tuning and how you hit it. I hope you enjoy.
FINALLY!!! Someone out there agrees with me about offing the moon gel and letting the drum do its thing. And I love the Honk!! Drummers have to stop butchering their equipment. I wish some one would do a good video on this subject. Thanks!
Great video Don. I agree with your comments. Like you, my Eames bebop birch kit was made by Joe and I use the same N&C snare with similar tuning as your snare drum. I use a small piece of moon gel tucked near the rim...works great. Great drumming man! Cheers from Vegas.
Good video . Enjoy your drum.
Hey Don. I love the sounds you get from tuning your snare like this. I might have to steal this trick on my Noble & Cooley walnut snare. Thanks for this video. Simon Phillips is a monster on the scene!
Amazing! I’m glad you self indulged 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks, man!!
Sounds fantastic. I like the gaffe tape idea. Subscribed
Brilliant video
Hi Don, great sound and playing all around! I‘m about to do a lot of new UA-cam clips soon, especially on my snare drums. So yours is very inspiring!
Hey, thanks! Can’t wait to see your vids! Subscribed!
@@Shylastahl1 Thanks a lot, Don!
And, our setups are eerily similar! 😬 Play on, brother!
@@Shylastahl1 Must be a generation thing...
Can we get some low tuning clips with the die cast and wide open? Curious to see how low it goes at the 5’ depth. Drum sounds great!
Hello from Colorado
I hear you’re doing great!! 🥁❤️🔥
Love your bass drum sound! How do you tune it? Would love to get that tone outta of mine as well
Aquarian Super Kick I (Clear) with a single ply ebony front head and a fleece throw inside the drum barely touching the front and back heads. I also installed a Kickport on the front head years ago. It might have boosted the “punch” and low end a bit. The 20” size of the bass drum needed a bit more low end. That’s it. Oh, I also bought DW beaters so I could use the plastic/felt sides at will. In this vid I’m prob using the plastic side. Can’t be sure.
I should also mention that the tension on the back head is just above minimal. Pretty loose.
Hi, your Ride Cymbal? Appreciate the info.
20” Paiste Traditionals Med Light Ride. She’s my #1. Not too “ding-y”, icy bell, and not too much definition. Soft feel too.
Im lookin at a 6.5x14 maple. Just lookin through sound sample vids and this popped up.. your set siumds awesome man!!🤘
@@cobra1995xx you should get it. Don’t even think twice. It’s got everything you could want in a snare drum!
Hi, do you still have this Drum
Absolutely!
@@Shylastahl1 Hello, I have one in Cherry red, and i am going to try your tunning method and see what sound she gives. A beautiful drum and i love mine
@@Shylastahl1 Hey this is stamped inside 88/4/31, now I was assuming it was the date, not sure about the 31 though
Any thoughts..thanks
@@tiedupsmurf your drum was “born on” 4-31-1988. ❤️🥁

One more note: Don't let that moon gel touch your expensive lacquer finish, it will leave a non-removable stain.
