I recently started doing this and its very odd because I set the drum in the snare stand, I dont tighten it whatsoever, and the resonance is nonexistent. I kept thinking it was my tuning but i get my friend to lift the drum a couple inches off the stand and it resonates beautifully, set it back in, and it sound as though I have a wrinkle in the head or something, Now I know that the snare stand is said to kill a little resonance but I thought it was due to tightening the stand. also when my friend lifted it off, I had him grab it by the shell to see if it'd make any difference, and it still resonated just fine. its like my tom is allergic to this snare stand. I have an rmv custom set if it makes any difference.
