How to Adjust a Trick Throw Off on a Snare Drum

How to adjust your radial 3-position Trick throw off strainer when changing snare wires. This is one of the easiest and most misunderstood strainer adjustments out there. If you get it dialed in perfectly the throw off works really well for loose, medium and tight snare wires.

For this video I wanted to show you a simple way to adjust your Trick throw off strainer to get the proper tension for your snare wires. I start with the snare drum upside down and work with the reso head to get it set up just perfectly. It's important to have your reso head tuned or at least set to the proper tension and then work on adjusting the throw off after that step of the process.
