Getting a good snare sound is involves a lot of factors, like tuning, drum head choice, sticks, the type of drum, and so on. Sometimes the good snare isn't enough. Sometimes you need to think beyond the basic factors and try a few tricks. • 00:45 Old head gate effect • 01:54 Tambourine on the drum • 02:25 Cross-stick clap / rim shot • 03:14 Snares off • 03:44 Splash cymbal on snare drum • This video shares some of things I've learned about changing up the snare sound. I play a couple songs that the snare sounds reminded me of and further dive into the open waters of vulnerability. • 00:45 Old head gate effect. • Take an old drum head and place it upside down on the batter head that's currently on the snare drum. This will seriously cut out some resonance and overtones. • In a live setting, I like using it to simulate drum machine tracks that were on the original studio recording. It provides a sound that's easier to control and provides a contrast to your main ax. • 01:54 Tambourine on the drum. • I think I could do a whole video just on tambourines and snare drums. I didn't get too creative with this part of the video (below) because it can be very simple. Place a tambourine on your snare drum and hit it. • Okay, it's not that simple. If you control the rebound of your stroke and leave the stick on the tambourine, you will have more control. In the video, I use rods to add some control while softening the attack of the stick on the wood tambourine. • 02:25 Cross-stick clap / rim shot. • This is one of my favorites to play but not to describe -- I don't have a good name for it. It's a flam comprised of a cross-stick and a ping (a type of rim shot). I use the cross-stick as the grace note and the shot for the primary stroke, but I don't think that matters too much. • Play around with the openness of the flam as well as the timbre of the snare drum. Throw off the snares or mute the drum. Throw a shaker percussion toy on the side and dirty the sound a bit. • 03:14 Snares off. • Simply turning off the snares is an amazing way to use a snare drum differently. It's great for Latin rhythms as well as some of the more progressive rock grooves. • I can still remember hearing Tool for the first time and thinking that Danny Carey's snares off grooves were perfect for the songs. If you don't know what I mean, spend the better part of an hour listening to some Tool's hits. You will find a groove with snares off, for sure. • 03:44 Splash cymbal on the drum. • I saved this one for last because it's just so easy to be different with a splash cymbal on your snare drum. It doesn't matter how many times I do this, someone is always amazed at the huge effect it has on the groove. • Featured gear ... • Pearl Firecracker Snare https://amzn.to/2Z4Urmj • Ludwig Supraphonic 4.5 x 14 LM402 https://amzn.to/2KzDlJs • // Recording Gear // • 🎙️ Cubase 9.5 (w/ FREE upgrade to 10) https://amzn.to/2KyBKlI • 🎙️ Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 Interface https://amzn.to/2GO6SfZ • 🎙️ Shure SM57 https://amzn.to/31pNTAe • 🎙️ Audix i5 https://amzn.to/31pO9zc • 🎙️ Shure Beta 91 https://amzn.to/2YrOnc8 • 🎙️ Shure Beta 52a https://amzn.to/2GTsI1N • 🎙️ Sennheiser e604 (toms) https://amzn.to/2YsZLEU • // Drum and Cymbals // [ ... the main characters, at least] • 🥁 Pearl 14 Sensitone Snare Aluminum https://amzn.to/2YMSH0Y • 🥁 Zildjian Constantinople 20 Medium Thin Low Ride https://amzn.to/2KkoimR • 🥁 Zildjian K Custom 17 Dark Crash Cymbal https://amzn.to/2YPX8Z4 • DISCLAIMER: This video and description contains affiliate links, which means that if you click on one of the product links, I’ll receive a small commission. • Thanks for watching! • ** SUBSCRIBE https://goo.gl/vnwjeZ ** • Website: https://rhythmnotes.net • Instagram: / rhythmnotes • Facebook: / rhythmnotesdotnet • Twitter: / zahnerdrums • Drums, Percussion, and Cymbals: • Pearl Drums, Ludwig, Slingerland • Zildjian, Bosphorus, and others • Vic Firth Sticks and Mallets • Remo, Evans, Aquarian drum heads • LP congas, bongo, timbale
