Ok so, I received my Summit snare Walnut 15"x8" and I started to use the tunebot website to try to put the snare at E2, like it would be a 15" floor Tom but they gave me 110 hertz at the top lug and 156 to 185 bottom depending on the resonance I want, more difference between heads leads to less resonance. But, in order to get the head on the snare bed, I need a minimum tension right?
I cannot follow their recommamdation for a snare? So, what do you think should be the minimum tension on the batter head? Is the fact that it's a 15" means that it needs more tension than a 14"? Or less? Let me know, I know there is some superman at tuneboting here.

I tune it like the picture below and while the Tom sound was good, the snare sound, once the snare wires are engaged is crap. So, I remember that you need to tension your snare head I order to minimize the buzz and weird sound with your wires, right? Because I think it's what I experimented with E2/82 hertz, snare head lug 183, batter head lug 110. There is no way I could get a good snare sound, even if I want a low snare tuning with a snare head lug at 183, correct?
