Drum Tuning - Why the Bottom Snare Head Matters More

Drum tuning can be very challenge unless you know what to do for the symptoms that you hear. In this episode, we show a before and after of the snare drum and show how I altered the tone of the snare drum by using tuning. Drum tuning is an art of using multiple pitches found within the lugs of the drum to form a full drum tone when the drum is hit. Drum tuning is often overlooked because if you don't understand a few rules about the craft, then it seems daunting. You will notice that the drum sounds fuller (And almost deeper) after we tune the drum, even though it is at a slightly higher pitch. How is this so? By using drum tuning we can increase the resonance of the drum so that the drum speaks better because of how the bottom head is resonating with the top head.
