**This is a thread purely for conversation. I am in no way trying to insinuate that having your snare angled has a negative implication on skill level. I’m just going off what I’ve noticed**
I am a fairly new drummer. I have only been playing for about a year and a half.
I’ve tried leveling out my snare, but always end up tilting it towards me.
I’ve watched great drummers start out with their snare drum tilted towards them, but then later move on to having it fairly flat as they advance in their playing/career.
From what I’ve seen, it seems that the more advanced the player, the more likely they are to have their snare set flat. Unless, they are known jazz/traditional grip players. In that case the snare is all over the place haha
but for the most part, the snare is flat.
I am beginning to wonder if I am hindering myself and my stroke by getting too used to having the snare tilted towards me?
I am getting worried that I am going to permanently mess up my left hand technique.
interested in hearing from others. Thanks
