How to tune a snare drum.

In this video, I'll go through my snare drum tuning process - perfect for the fellow educator and/or drummer who might need some guidance with tuning.

The snare drum used in this video is a Ludwig 6.5X14 pewter copperphonic. It's one of my new go-to snares! https://www.ludwig-drums.com/en-us/lu...
