Most Common Snare Problems + Fixes

We understand- you want to get right down to playing and dialing in your snare wires isn’t necessarily at the top of the priority list. But if you’re struggling with snare sound, there’s a good chance that snare wire setup is a contributing factor. More and more lately we’ve seen snare wires set up incorrectly on drums sent to us, on display in stores, at trade shows, in ads, and beyond. This isn’t doing anyone any favors so we wanted to point out the most common issues and how to avoid them. PATREON: This video is made possible by our Patreon supporters.
