I'm looking for something to put some sort of shock absorber between the snare and the stand, to enhance the resonance. I've looked at 'Lil Booty Shakers, and FlexFrames. I really like the idea of the FlexFrame, but I wonder how sturdy the clips are, as I come down with some pretty hard rim shots.
Does anybody have experience with either of these products? Are there just replacements for the rubber for snare stands, similar to the pearl suspension feet for floor toms? I've seen a couple snare stands with pretty intricate isolation mounting built in, but those were fairly expensive.
I ask because I recently realized how much the tone of my snare was being choked due to the snare wires being so tight against the head. I backed them off a bit, and it REALLY opened up the tone in a way I've never heard before. I would imagine less transfer of vibration to the ground could only open it up more.
