Sounds like you are smacking a school desk, perfection

[bijikedelai]

Dude create a youtube dedicated just for this bit. Absolute madlad.

for the people who say no, Just know that this is not a drum set snare. This is a marching snare. They are supposed to sound like this. The tight pingy sound projects through the entire band to the audience. This snare is a little too low pitched in my opinion. May I add that I in fact play snare in my highschool drumline.

This man’s name is “does my snare sound good?”, his only video is “does my snare sound good?” and he manages to have 1k subs. Truly inspirational

Check the resonant pitch about 1/2 an inch out from each lugs.

Use a star-pattern (lug across, lug towards the opposite side, skip the lug beside it, use the third lug, tune to the one across, rinse repeat) until the pitch has been cleared.

Flip the drum over to the resonant side, disengage the snare, stick a #2 pencil under the snares and then engage the snare so that you can hear the reso head. Rinse repeat.

Now, for the physics of the drum. There's a few airholes in the sides to allow for air to escape. There's three schools of tuning:
•Batter head higher than reso
•Reso head higher than batter
•Matched tunings

The goal is to get as much air moving in the drum as possible. If the batter is high, you gotta match it by going higher with the reso to get the "dry/crisp" snare sound or lower to get the "wet" snare response.

Different drums require different tunings, so experiment a bit, but tune gradually to avoid cracks or the head pulling/popping.

Snare guts also need to be tuned as well. Since you already have a pencil under them, use a guitar pick or GENTLY used a small flat-head to pluck the snares. Just detention the snare knob so they don't snap, but tighten until you can hear a pitch instead of a buzz, then use a Phillips head to tune the snare guts to each other.
If those all match, then your snares all engage at the same time with the same response.

For reference, Blue Devils A-Corps uses a C on the batter head and a D on the reso head.

The sound of a ping pong landing in a plastic party cup. Marching snare perfection 🤌🤌🤌

[BlueCaboose]

Could be tighter. I like my snare to have the pitch of a blue devils snare, like a mouse hitting concrete at 200 mph (words of my old percussion instructor)

[josemendezfr]

The sound that reminds you that it's time to get out of the band room.

[ZachKyew]

Gotta get it to sound like a skateboard hitting the pavement

[caenes]

Man, the amount of people here that aren't drummers is astounding (I know some are just trolls but still)

[g-ray-z]

One of the best sounding snares I’ve heard in a while

[jacobsingson_]

Crank it up some more
Gotta get it real cwisp

[catman]

lmao why are there so many confident drummers in the comments that have never seen a marching band before

[TenorPhan]

Need more tension tbh. But soft hybrids are hard to make sound REALLY good. Id say tighten the bottom

[isayeet]

Tune it to where you get more of the wires and less of the head and you’re good 👌

[Visroker]

Even though this is a marching snare, I'd use it as sick snare sound for some slam or thrash!

[ProdbyXolar]

I have zip ties on my snare system cause the system won’t screw back on 😭😭😭

[jensenhawkins]

It’s alright sounds like a rocket Tom with the snair belt😂

[positiveforpovid]

it very much helps to go outside to tune it, that’s what i did and my god my snare sounds so happy

[trevorfitzgerald]

Love the sound of a marching snare even tho I play sousaphone. And damn I'll level with drumline and low brass is the way to go
