Hey! New user here, and from what I’ve seen so far, I like the place!
I found an old thread here about snare head (top) tightening, and was wondering if there were any other expert tips out there. I play a REMO Piccolo snare and like that **POP**, which of course means tightening the lugs down pretty hard.
My question: What is TOO hard? I have been known to tighten them about as hard as I can go with just my hands and leave them. I like the sound, but something tells me it isn’t correct.
I have just outfitted my snare with Evans 13” reverse-dot batter head, and it occurred to me that I’m probably using bad technique when I muscle those lugs down.
I have been drumming for quite some years and know the basics (reso side tuned higher than batter, star-pattern, etc etc), but now that I’m getting older I’m wondering about tuning a little more. Yea, kids haha.
Thanks gang!
