My batter head is cranked pretty much.... with hald of my strength ( not my weight... ) i can only make a small dent into the middle where i place my fingers,/palm/whatever
I tried to tune my snare drum myself, took it to the teacher of mine, because i felt it sounded like garbage, and he practically turned every lug about 2-3 turns... and even before that, i was afraid breaking the head - Im newb!
the resonant head was tensioned even more. Just tension the shiet, and try to hit with a lot of power, bot rim, and head at the same time.
If you want a loud sound, hit with the stick on the middle of the drum. If you want a lower more cracking sound mebbe, try hit closer the edge of the rim you hitting.
If you find your leg getting in the way, try to raise the drum
Im sure it will work out some time.
