Your Snare Might Be Tuning Itself | Season Six, Episode 35

Today we’re uncovering one of the most common snare drum tuning blindspots and sharing some methods to overcome these challenges. We know drum tuning can be incredibly frustrating. Even for the most patient of individuals, discovering a loose tension rod after having tuned it up only moments prior can lead to an uninspired feeling of aggravation that can be close to impossible to ignore when it comes time to play. But when heads changing tuning seconds later without even being touched, it’s enough to make us ditch the drum keys and go do something else with our time. We’re here to help.
