The Confusion that Makes Snare Tuning Difficult | Season Six, Episode 18

There’s a major roadblock that seems to be the root cause of so much struggle with snare drum tuning. While each of the constituent elements may seem obvious, their roles and how they interact with each other is largely misunderstand, making it difficult for so many drummers to produce a sound that they’re happy with. We’ll break down the function of each of these elements, demoing how they work and how they relate so you can feel confident in the decisions you make when it comes to tuning.
