“Fixing” Your Snare Sound [Step by Step] | Season Five, Episode 40

There are lots of different ways to achieve similar sounds from any drum. Our preference tends to side with methods that offer the widest dynamic range, full presence of tone without choking (unless that’s part of the desired sound) and flexibility for easy adjustment. Today we’re going step-by-step through the process of modifying a common “passable” snare sound and setup to align with our methodology.
