Versatility continues to come up quite a bit in the discussion of drums and particularly snare drums, yet the aspect that most greatly affects the versatility of the drum isn’t actually the drum itself- it’s the snare side drumhead. While some people default to adjusting the snare-adjacent pairs of tension rods, we’ve got an alternative method. In this episode we explore how to control articulation, sustain, and overtones via specific tension rods on the bottom of the drum.

@jimflys2 3 года назад

UN BE LIEVABLE! Working in the shop today and listened to this. Took an el cheapo 8 rod Ludwig Accent 6 1/2" by 14 and took it from a drum that was tuned but meh and made it come alive. In 40 plus years, I never knew this. I then Took a 5x14 Pearl Masters that was tuned and made it sound Out of this world with articulation and tone. I can't believe it. I was always a guy that said "Even tension on all lugs. Bottom pretty darn tight. Top adjusted to your feel." This has opened the door to a whole new world. I have 5 snare drums at home. You know what I am doing tonight. Thank you! THE most important episode yet by far. And I have been gigging since 1979. Thanks for the coffee!

@harrysmart6236 3 года назад

I'm still a bit astonished by how completely the snare sound dropped away when you took the side rods out. Not that I'd want to do it, but .. that was revelatory.

@jc3drums916 3 года назад

I don't use tuning devices either, but I think you're missing another possible use case. They don't just allow you to apply the same tension to every tension rod. They also offer you a way of knowing how much tension you applied to each rod after you find a tuning you like, so you can record the numerical values and quickly/easily repeat them the next time you tune.

@SoundsLikeADrum 3 года назад

Oh absolutely! The key is that the quantification ignores a whole mess of variables so we find it best to deal with tuning on a case by case basis. Once you get accustomed to the process on a few different drums with different heads you can do it in just a few minutes. The knowledge gained through this approach has all sorts of added benefits when it comes to drum sounds and working with a given musical context.

@TnRProducts 3 года назад

Totally agree, most drums have way more range than players realize. Good stuff👍

@jaedph 3 года назад

Wow, i just did this, and a noticable change on my snare is that is, the overtone is less wild, less washy and less pingy and there's a little added articulation and as Cody said, I didn't touched the snare tension, just in the same spot when before and after I tweaked the snare side, here's what it sounded with my words: Before making small adjustments: Overtone: Waaawawawaooo (Wild and Pingy and sounded weird) Snares: Psssh (Still some good articulation but it's still washy) After Making Small adjustments: Overtone: Waaaaawaoo (More controlled, less washy and wild) Snares: Pssht (Little more articulate and less washy and more responsive) This video is perfect for those who are wanting articulation but not choking the snares and maintaining your snare tone. Thanks, Cody and this awesome channel!

Always interesting to hear your take on this. Use the gear you have and learn how to get lots of sound out of it. I am guilty of gear accusition syndrome, but you have helped me really think more about what sound is missing, not the piece of equipment. As a result I focus more on hardware, heads, mounts, and with my wallet, and tones I just use the knowledge you, Beatdown Brown and others have shared. Thanks for your service to the living population of the world.

@scottvelardo700 3 года назад

This info is gold! I’ve messed with the rods near the snares, but didn’t consider thinking of it this - sort of opposite - way. We forget that the tension pulls horizontally across the head, in every direction, not really vertically at each lug. This technique deals with the tension perpendicular to the wires, which I’d never have thought of. Well done!

@joecoleman288 2 года назад

I'd just bought an Acrolite and something about the snare wires (brand new Puresounds) and the articulation wasn't sounding as I wanted it to.

@Chiroman527 Год назад

Hey Cory, I stumbled upon this video while "surfing" the Interweb for an answer to a "weird" thing I experienced with a Metal DW Snare AND a PDP Maple Snare drum. I truly like the sound from your snare in the opening of this Video. The DW Design series Nickel over Brass Snare, 14 X 6.5 acquired Used in 2021 had a HD Dry Batter head installed by the previous owner. It was Cranked and I really liked the sound of the drum Right out of The Box. It was a big improvement over the PDP Maple Snare 14 X 5.5 with stock heads. I replaced the PDP batter head with a HD dry -which did improve the sound just a little. A few weeks ago, I replaced the DW's batter head with a new HD dry one, re-installed the reso head (cleaned and checked the bearing edges), re-installed the stock snare wires and retuned the drum. I could not get to the sound that I had Out of The Box. Last week, while playing along to some music (I'm a 71 yo retired guy who plays for recreation about 1 hour a day to My Music), I placed the Dw snare on top of the 16 inch Floor Tom to get it out of the way. I played the PDP snare in the stand. While doing a Fill, I hit the DW snare while sitting on the Floor Tom... BINGO! That was the sound I was Looking for (actually Hearing for). It played like a Ludwig Supraphonic , Jon Bonham sound !! Took the DW off the Floor Tom and it was NOT the same? Tried the PDP Maple snare and that Too Improved the sound !. I've posted this Phenom in a number of Drum Forums. Posters have advised of various observations. "you are playing 2 drums simultaneously.... getting the resonance from 2 Drums"; another poster said Kiddingly that I may have Invented a new Snare Stand :):) I have OCD about certain things. This is becoming one of them :(:(. I returned to playing drums after 50 Years [1969 at 18 years old], knew nothing of drum tuning and Drum heads back then. I'm learning much now. Tuning is an art. FYI, I have a G2 Coated batter head on my Floor Tom. Any ideas about this sound phenominum ?

@johnadams8338 3 года назад

BEST. VIDEO. EVAR! Having said that, I have SO many questions: 1. What mil snare side head are you using? Does it matter? 2. Aren't you getting wrinkles in your snare side? Does that matter? 3. I was (mistakenly) under the impression that you treat a snare side like any other reso head. (ie. tuning it slightly slightly above or below batter. Keeping all lugs in tune.) SO, how do you tension the snare side head? Tight at the snare beds and then adjust the other lugs? Are those lugs under the same/ similar tension? Ok, I'm going to stop there. I have a TON more questions. I really feel like you could do an entire season on just this topic. Thanks!

@anguse2068 2 года назад

I love your channel - even after 35+ years with this hobby there are gems of information in your videos that get me thinking about the nuances of my sound and the variables that affect them. This particular video one is one of the most thought provoking for my perspective. Even before finding your channel I had myself already experimented plenty on my snares with different heads, wires, muffling, head tension and the relatonships between snare-side and batter-side tensions. But for whatever reason I have always assumed that when it comes to snare-side tension I need to have the head more of less in tune with itself across all the lugs to get a good snare response. My only experiementation has been in sometimes leaving the 4 lugs either side of the snare beds slightly lower in pitch as of course they will naturally tend to be without tightenening them down more so the hoop conforms to the snare bed. Never have I thought to play with the tension of the other lugs. I can hear from this video there is a whole world to explore here! And will also be interesting to see how these findings translate to an 8-lug drum like my Acrolite. Anyway thanks for the inspiration and keep up the great work! :-)

@nickdenardo6479 Год назад

first of all, i'm surprised you didn't take it a step too far, just to show what happens. having said that, i've noticed before that lowering the tension on the snare side head widens the drum up, but i never thought to try it on just the rods that are not adjacent to the wires. i've seen videos with top guys (coughBennyGrebcough) who advocate cranking the bottom head, but he does say that he does this for articulation. bottom line: it is best, as you say, to experiment and see what your equipment can do. thanks so much for doing it in this video, because i'm lazy AF and haven't had the motivation to do it in my *%#% odd years of playing drums.

Oh wow!! this was incredibly helpful!! Getting away from the idea that every lug pitch has to be perfect with a tuner is very difficult to get away from. But it's very true. Any drum I've had my hands on that sounded great was definitely not perfect at every lug, especially at the reso sides.

@jonashellborg8320 3 года назад

Awesome video! This was something I was wondering about, ie instead of touching the batter side, or the snare wires, just adjust the resonant/snare head. The huge impact of those side rods really surprised me! Now, wait until UK lockdown is over, and then experiment! I have a steel snare, and a maple snare, I believe both can sing, but each needs a different setup. You told me, it’s most likely not the equipment, it’s likely the snare side, and getting the right head tension. Thanks!

In over 40 years of drumming I found that it sometimes helps to loosen 1 or 2 tension rods a little. I choose those besides the snare be on one side. Improved snare sensitivity too.

@geoffcowan2384 3 года назад

I use the outer tension rods on the snare side head to help remove sympathetic buzz. I wish you would have had a couple of toms in the mix to show how much difference that makes. It was demonstrated to me by lying a t-shirt on a table and pulling two sides to show how that makes the center rise. Can't remember where i got that though. Great video by the way. Thanks for all you do!

@xaverk 2 года назад

You guys do a job no-one else does this way and with this devotion. That is worth a Patreon membership. In this video, I thought Cody should work on his rolls. But then I remembered that any time I get away from an even and optimal tension and the optimal relationship in tension of the two drumheads, my rolls suck. No chance to fix it. The snare tension is not that important. On the other hand, having found the correct head tension, the sticks bounce almost effortless and evenly. Double-stroke as well as concert rolls (mainly triple-stroke rolls, as Rick Dior told). Try it. Maybe, that is also a tip for frustrated drum students who think they‘ll never learn to evenly roll on a snare drum.

Great video! I got a LOT of food for thought from this one. Looking forward to experimenting on my snares. Question - You’ve mentioned a couple of times that you don’t own as many snare drums now as you used to, thanks to your learnings about tuning. How many snares do you own now? At what point do you decide that you’re after a particular sound that one of your “versatile” snares in your collection doesn’t produce or won’t give you from alternate tuning?

Thanks for this demo! Also, snare beds, snare beds, snare beds. I use your same method but the application is sooo dependent on the depth, width and taper of the bed. I will never get my Pearl Omar Hakim to sound like my Supraphonic. Which gives me an excuse to have more snares!

Fascinating! I have a 1973 Ludwig Super Sensitive, which, as you know has a highly unorthodox method of raising and lowering the wires. In the near future I'm expecting a long-awaited new set of wires. When they arrive, I'll put a brand new Remo PowerStroke (my batter of choice) on top, then give this trick a try. If your experience with that (much deeper--does that have an effect as well?) lovely Acrolite hold true for me, I expect to find some sweet spots. Thanks for the cool tip!

@footnotedrummer 3 года назад

This is great info, Cody. I LOVE experimentation. One thing that I'd love to see you do, is a snare side thickness shootout, using several drums. I did a bunch of experiments with all of my snares and I've dialed them in over the years using different wires, snare heads, batter heads. What I've found is that on one of my drums in particular... it sounds amazing with a 500 (5 mil) Evans head and Puresound Twisted wires. This is a hammered stainless steel Mapex "Precious Metal" with cast hoops. I use this for hard rock and metal, and it simply cuts through everything. It still has amazing tone though. It sounded completely different when I got it, and that goes to show you how much your sound can be effected with these relatively cheap components. Even the singer in my band stopped us after the first song and said "dude! that sounds amazing. What the heck did you do to get it cut through like that?". When a singer tells you that... it's not just an opinion ;-) LOL

@johncollins5552 2 года назад

Don't know how I missed this video. Can you do a video on the sound difference using different strand snare wires? I have a snare with a 42-strand on it....super tough to get a right sound when micing from the bottom. Perhaps even ways to mic the bottom snare?

@SoundsLikeADrum 3 года назад

It sounds like you might be approaching this a little backwards. Are you getting the desired sound from the drum with 42-strand wires (and is that a good fit for the drum)? From there, capturing that sound is a whole other experience but start minimally (one or two overheads) and then experiment with supplemental close mics (the subtleties of choice and placement make a world of difference in the end). And if you’re miking from below, don’t forget to flip phase!

@christiancanalita6487 3 года назад

@@SoundsLikeADrum The 42-strand comes standard on the Gretsch USA COB (6.5 x 14) snare. It’s my first 42-strand snare so I’m trying to get that dialed in. Haven’t tried a different strand yet. With the bottom mic, it’s like, “super strands from hell” so I find myself bringing the fader way down on it.

@johnmccorry7536 3 года назад

Interesting take on snarehead tension, Cody. Have u done, or considered a video on snare wires and the effect on sound? I use 24 strand puresound wires on my 6½ deep drums and a 20 strand set on a "cheap" drum. Puresound don't seem to go more than 24 wires in their "cotter-pin" attached wires. I fancy trying 42 strands on my 14 × 6½ Arbiter Advanced Tuning maple drum, but how much better can it get than with 24? (WHAT a drum, by the way! (I swapped the original hoops with hoops from an Arbiter FLATS 14" snare and vastly improved the ease of tuning. One bolt per head. How easy do you want?). ).

Cody you had mentioned the throw-off having "clicks" in the turns. Please name and describe the throw-off, and are the snare wires the standard Ludwig that came with the drum. Thanks and Blessings Cody!

Hey there! It’s the mechanism from INDe Drum Co, excellent upgrade to the P83. wires are Puresound Blasters, 20 strand 👍🏻 -Cody

Really interesting, thank you. It's a shame that some of the companies that have made such fantastic drums have sunk to selling useless gimmicks like tuning devices. FFS. That's marketing for you... Oh,.. Cheers.

Question? Does the pitch on each lug still have to be even when you do this? Or are you just getting the rods are toying with in tune with each other? I'm a bit confused. I wouldn't wanna do it the wrong way.

Could we get a video talking about cymbals? Like how to find the best sound in the hats, ride, and crashes?

@@SoundsLikeADrum Is there a specific way to tune toms to make them resonate together? Like tune one tom to a A&C and tune another to a C&F??
