Hi, I'm new to the forum, and I have a problem with my snare drum that I have been trying everything I can think of to get rid of.
I have a 6.5x14 Gretsch Hammered Steel snare, and I can tune it satisfactory when it comes to pitches (fundamental and lug pitches etc.)
What I can't do is make the sound of the snares themselves sound good. I have been looking for tips all over off and on for a couple of years.
No matter how carefully I attach the snare wires, or what tension I have them at, I get this really annoying buzzing sound. It's not just snare buzz as in sympathetic snare buzz, I know how to set the length of that.
It's kind of hard to hear in the audio file so after the first two hits I tried to clip gain the buzzing sound. So, two normal hits and then the same hits with clip gained tail.
When recorded it's not as much of a problem, but it really bugs me when playing.
Thanks in advance for any help I can get!

Edit: Oh, I'm not talking about the fundamental tone ringing either, but under it there's that buzzing.
