Hi all, it's me again with another question...
So, I just searched YouTube for over 45 minutes looking for a video on how to tune my snare drum to get that super tight, punchy and very distinctive Neil Peart sound. I came up completely empty.
Over the years and many, many drum sets and manufacturers the one thing that seems to remain the same (or pretty damn close) is the Neil Peart Snare sound.
Currently I tune my top head and my bottom head to an A4 (at least that's what my phone app says). I love Rush and love Peart's amazing sound even more. I completely understand that some of him sound comes from micing and placement and perhaps even a small amount of effects.
I'm just wondering if there's anyone out here in Drummerworld forum land that can help me achieve something close. I'd like to try this out with my Tama Starclassic 14 x 6.5.
Any help is appreciated, Defender
