Check out the microphones used in your favorite Drumeo videos (Earthworks x Musora) ► https://earthworksaudio.com/musora _______________ Did you know you can get an epic, full snare sound without changing your gear? In this full lesson, Glen Sobel (who plays with Alice Cooper and Hollywood Vampires) shares his secrets to mastering how your snare sounds without changing out the drum or altering your heads. Glen – or ‘king of the snare’ in this video – says that five different people can play the same drum and that drum will sound different from one person to the next. That’s because a drummer’s touch plays a huge role in the sound, and this is something that many drummers tend to overlook. Stick position, stick angle, the spot you hit, and playing consistency are all major factors. Your snare height, snare angle and seat height can also affect how your sticks make contact with the drum. Believe it or not, these all make a bigger difference in your sound than you may think. In this lesson, you’ll learn how to control and master your snare sound, how to play with a ‘relaxed intensity’, and some tips on being employable as a rock drummer.
