Fine Tuning Your Snare Sound: Orchestral Snare Reso | Season Four, Episode 35

If you’ve been with us since the beginning (and even if you haven’t), there’s a good chance you know how much we love diving into the details and subtleties of quality snare sound. From the ruler method to single lug adjustments, sometimes it’s the little things that make all the difference. Today we’re experimenting with the capabilities of a snare reso head that was designed for the discerning ears of the orchestral percussionist. Who says you can’t use orchestral heads for drum set snares?
