Okay, so I have been tinkering with my snare for a good amount of time now, cutting off snare wires, trying different tunings, etc., but I just can't get exactly the sound that I'm looking for. It may sound contradictory, but I don't want it to sound overwhelmingly
"snare-y". I thought cutting off snare wires would help this, but the difference is almost inaudible. Also, whenever I hit the head anywhere outside the center of it, I get an odd "twang" sound from my snares. If I tighten my snares to minimize this, I lose a lot of sensitivity from them and my ghost notes sound mediocre. I know I've made some threads about this before, but nothing is really helping, and I'm at the point where I'm seriously considering cranking down my heads and leaving my snares off. I don't really know where to go from here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
