    Default Snare Tuning??

    ok so i put a new bottom head on my snare and and tuned my snare as i normally do. but for some reason now im getting this weird noise from my snare and its not like a overtone noise. im not quite sure what to do at this point because my snare did not sound like that before. any suggestions??

    Over time the snare seats in the head creating a "tighter" buzz as long as you got the same head it'll just take time. Also replacing the snare couldn't hurt

    well i started by finger tightening the lugs as much as i could get them. then i did bout 3 full turns per lug on each side (not all at once though) gradually till i got the sounds i was looking for. its pretty tight and you get a good bounce. thats the way i like it anyways but you dont have to have it quite that tight of course.
