    Default Sympathetic Vibrations

    I got the new evens G Plus tom heads (great sound) but the snare buzz is out of control I've got the perfect tom sound and I don't want to change the pitch of the toms to get rid of buzz so I want to know your type and tension of your snare batter and resonant heads using a Drum Dial and if you used an extreme setting on the Drum Dial to remove sympathetic vibrations

    Try tightening the two lug screws around the snare wires. What this does is slightly moves the head away from the snare wires and should reduce the sympathetic buzz.

    This kind of buzz can be caused by having the tom heads tunned to the same pitch as the snare reso. Try re-tuning it a bit or try Livewires tip. If nether work try de-tuning the two tension rod either side of the snare wires
