For live gigs, I've been tuning my snare batter side completely loose. I mean zero tension, and it's been working out quite well. The snare drum is much quieter and it doesn't bleed into the vocal mics nearly as much, which has made my guitarist/engineers job way easier. The change in sound and the feel of the drum has taken alot of getting used to, but at least for the application I'm using it for, it seems to work very well.
Any of you had a similar experiences or thoughts?

Here's a quick demo of this method. I forgot to mention in the video that I've gaff-taped a folded up paper towel on the batter head to further focus the sound.
