Hey guys,

I'm having some trouble tuning my snare drum. I am currently using a Mapex Black Panther Sledgehammer. The batter side is an Evans G2 coated and the resonant side is an Evans G1. When I tune snare drums, I tend to tune the reso head a lot tighter than the batter side. Kind of like a 1 to 3 ratio. I am looking to achieve an awesome "crack" with this snare, preferably a hard rock sound. But when I tune this snare like that I'm getting more of a "papery" sound. Like if you were to lay a sheet of paper on top of your snare and hit it. I don't want that. Can anyone help me with this?

Keep on playing!

Thanks,
Voltsdrummer
