Snare Tuning Hack! Amazing snare sounds quickly  

I will be sure to try this out! Awesome idea!

Going through drum heads so easily it’s RIDICULOUS

That snare sounds so good tuned up

I've been using this technique for probably over a decade now, works really well, but one thing to keep in mind is when they get really loose, they will rattle, so some cotton or something to stop the two lugs from rattling will help 👍🏼 happy music making

Masshoff talked about this years ago and I believe he deserves credit. Additionally DO NOT TRY on a stave snare, the uneven tension will destroy your drum

The hack works well if you’re okay with getting new heads more often, seeing as how the rim would bend

Yeah I'll definitely check this shit out next time I go in the garage

Thank you I was trying to tune my snare for school today

I love the last sound before you loosened the bolts. 🥁

I use the Bob Gatzen method mostly, but I'll have to give this a try

this snare sounds so good

Oh my god! The end snare. Is... pure bliss! 👏👏👏🥹

Bro thank you so much man my snare drum was sou ding a little bad and you helped me fix it thank you so much man

Fantastic

You could bend the hoop or even warp the drum maybe crack it if its wood. I would try it on crappy snare.

Great stuff - didn’t know that. Very cool

I'm an Evans user but this makes remo look cool

benny is a goat for sure great tip

Wow! Now that is cool!

secrets of the Universe REVEALED! Super snare sound. Thanks

Nice

Thanks.

This is an evans thing. Remo heads used to be on the brittle side and i could see someone with diecast rims destroying a lug case if it was tabletop tight. Gotta distribute the tension evenly. But on a lower tuning, it's totally safe.

Try doing the two lugs across from eachother. Less wrinkle

1st of all, how did you get the first high, nice snare sound?

Thank you!

Damn, that’s dope son. How can I get the top end to ring out a little more? Like a longer lasting sizzle

Nice but does having it so unevenly tuned affect its longevity?

I've seen this method applied mostly on 10 lugs snare but not 8...Does this method apply to 8 lugs snare too?

I tried it, and i prefer using a kerchief way more. It does destroy both the head rim and the drum rim.

I've seen this hack before but I've read you can't leave the head like that because it may cause the shell to warp. Is that true?

I feel like this goes against everything I know about tuning but Benny does it. So, what the hell?

Could the uneven tension damage the drum? I really want to try it out, but not if I risk damage.

Likely won't work with die cast hoops...but I'll give it try.

I'd think different parts of the head being under different tensions would be bad for the head though. I'd be nervous of trying this, As someone that cant replace heads too often

Ok, So i've seen this before, on a tutorial video of sorts on RU-vid. I've tried it and it is slick. I had a bunch of folks diss it over on reddit, stating that it warps rims etc. Does this work as well on cast hoops as rolled hoops?

haha great!! 💪🏼🤩

I wouldn't try this on a wooden drum. Definitely do some sort of metal drum cause it will deform the drum after a while if it's wood.

Quien hubiese pensado no?...(Contiene sarcarmo)

How to instantly warp your batter head tutorial

What is your tune bot numbers?

what snare is this ?

wouldnt that be cool if we could have robot AI tuners on all our drums, with the press of a selection on your phone, they all go to work and tune perfectly how you want either to factory presets or user presets. like the robot tuner gibsons.

will this not bend the hoop?

❤

When you hear someone say * want me to show you a trick* dont do it bro walk away😂 dont bent your drums

Yo how do you get the snare to sound like that?

Won’t that bend the drum hoop?

Does this work on toms?

My ocd

Just don't forget to put them back where you started from.

He is unloosing it I’m not dumb

Did I see wavy snare head?

May not be the best thing for your hoops. Die cast might be ok 2.3 mm triple flange could start to warp, maybe, maybe not. But thinner triple flange hoops I would not recommend doing this.

I can't afford to bend another rim lol

Hello Remo. I think it sounded better before loosening ,but, was ringy. Everything I learn about tuning says don't do that.

Yo what!

Benny...Benny...Benny...why?

He's only hitting rim shots as well.

Nothing new. We've (drummers) been doing this all along. Sometimes in between songs so i dont have to change snares for a different sound.

Personally I wouldn’t have my snare tuned that high and drop two lugs on the same side that low. Uneven pressure like that can warp your drum or cause damage to the bearing edge.

it damages the head

What head is that?

This would jusk kill everything about your snaredrum: you are warping the head, deforming your rim, putting insane amounts of strain on the other lugs,... Just never do this on an actualy expensive snaredrum, tune it properly using the right paterns for the snare you are using! (You can find these online)

I feel like this would fuck up my snare drum....

Yeah then you warp your snare/snare hoop

Yeah, putting all the pressure on one side of the rim is bad for the drum, thats why it's always a star motion.

We knew this in 1983. It’s a dirty trick to get the ballpark sound you need. But not satisfying.

Why trick? why not technique? I'll try for sure

Don't do this...just tune your snare properly and use muffling techniques on the snare.

Great way to damage your heads, rims, and drums

Great way to ruin a drum if you're not careful

You lose so much bounce though.

So you spend hours and hours and hours mastering your craft. But now your getting hung up on the 2 minutes it takes to turn the other 8 lugs.

Idk about this man, I feel like I'll ruin my snare doing this

This isn’t a “hack”. This is common knowledge and there’s a thousand video on it. Stop using clickbait titles

All those tones sounded terrible tho

Makes no sense

I wouldn't do this with die-cast hoops...😲

I Have to try this i keep fighting for a proper likeable snare sound ,thanks man..😃🙏

Thanks for this , but I hope d skin won't pull or be spoilt I tune down one side and play it for too long a time ?

🔥🔥🔥👍🏻
