In this video, I show you how to get three completely different snare drum sounds — Fat, Open, and Cracky — all from the same snare drum. You’ll learn how to transform your snare tone using only drum tuning techniques and muffling methods (no gear changes needed).
If you’ve ever wanted to know how to make your snare sound fatter, tighter, or more open, this video breaks it all down step-by-step.
