Drumhead Coating Conspiracy? | Season Five, Episode 49
Snare heads are always coated…or at least that’s what we’re lead to believe. It doesn’t matter if you’re a brush wizard or pounding out back beats (or both!), chances are strong that you’ve got a coated snare batter head. But if you’re not getting all delicate and swishy, does the coating make a difference? We did a fun experimental comparison to find out.
