  • It's a solid investment. Look for a thicker hoop (3/16th)

  • helpful^^

  • @lumyingluo Cool!

  • The best approach would be to check out my "Tonal Tuning Series" Simply search "youtube" for bob gatzen tonal tuning. This will prompt a 1/2 dozen videos on snare drum tuning and maintenance After going through the videos if your still uncertain about snare drum tuning, contact me.

  • Hey, thanks for the great video. I've been trying to get my snare drum sounding good, but whenever I put the snare on I get a horrible rattling sound and I can't fix it. Any help would be appreciated.

  • @ChapMouse and thank you for the good news... we all need it in this day and age.

  • Thank you for this vid my hoops are already bent when there off the drum so I need to buy new ones

  • Hey! I just can't get my snare drum sound right. I like a clack sound like in rock, so I put a e-ring on my snare drum and tuned the drum high (both heads). But for some reason, when I press the snares againt the head and put the e-ring on, It gives off a tom like ring that really ruins the sound. any tips on reducing that tom-ring? Could the bottom head be too tightly tuned, or could the snares be pressing to hard on the bottom head? Ty for the help. your tips have made my drums 10000x better!

  • @bobgatzen i took off my snares to tune the drum and my snare like rattled wayyy tooo much. I tightend the snares and it just wouldnt work i had to put tape on the snares and tape them to my resonant head.. But i was playing around with it and got the snare back.. SLIGHTLY. Help fixing this?

  • @AikkuKun Please let us know how it works out for you
