Re: Strange way to Tune a Snare
I recently tried this tuning technique and got a really great sound out of my Mapex Black Widow snare. I did this with a new coated G1 batter head as I was changing it anyway as the old one had worn out. However, played at my next gig and ended up denting the head due to the limited tension towards the bottom of the head. This, along with fears of damaging the hoop, lugs and shell convinced me this is not the way for me.
It's a shame as that was the best I'd ever got that drum to sound.
