I’ve noticed that it’s more time efficient to just crank the reso tight and then tighten the batter as I see fit for the music. Some snares can only handle certain tunings though. My 13x7 OCDP Maple can be cranked to marching snare level but my Tama Superstar Classic 14x6.5 Maple kinda chokes out at medium-high tuning.
Slaine here from Va.Bch. Great lesson on this subject. Am a beginner drummer and I own a few snares all 14" but various depht raging from 4", 5" & 6.5" . I use Evans heads of different types so as to have multiple sound choices. Something I began to do is to tune my snares by tunning the head first then the resonant after as to not having the beaterhead pull on the resonant and getting it out of tune when tune high. Continue the great job, ill be watching for ur next video.
Ned from Spain stopping by again Gabe.Nice and straight forward lesson on something a lot of drummers need to know. My preference for many many years are Remo White coated Emperor for the top of all my drums, a clear or smokey gray Ambassador on the snare, white coated Ambassadors for the resos on the toms, same for the bass drum. Even though I'm happy with my vintage wood Ludwigs and a Slingerland snare, I used to have a Ludwig Acrolite, now I wish I still did . Take care Gabe.
I use the same heads as Ned from Spain, with one exception: I use a coated Powerstroke 3 batter on the bass drum. Gabriel, thanks for the video - your drums always sound fantastic. Cheers!
Lots of good info here. 💡prob have both my Acro's too tight. I can't seem to get any of the snares i have to sound right/good. Think my ears have been spoiled by all these sweet miked up drums vids on here. As far as snare heads, it's whatever my broke ass can afford.🤷♂
The medium tuning was my fav. Sounds great!!
I think that’s my favorite spot for that drum to.

I know, that Acrolite doesn't get very high before it chokes out.

I'm an Evens fan as well.
Gaaaaaaabe!!!!! I’m guessing that you were talking about John from Drum World. Great dude. I loved stopping there and talking to him. Hope all is well
You are correct! ...many found memories of that old drum shop

Thank you Ned, and I know what you mean about old drums that we gave up. I used to have a Gretsch chrome over brass that I wish I still had.

Hey Gabe, Ned from Spain here, I was just wondering if you're OK as I haven't seen a video for a few weeks. Keep cool and hope all is well.
Thank you for your concern. I was sick for a minute, but I'm ok. But now I'm doing some major house maintenance. I will be back.
@@DrumTipTuesday Good to hear Gabe. Looking forward to the next vid. See ya
Coated ambassador
Yes sir, a fantastic, timeless standard.

I hear that. I'll play a drum head until it falls of the drum lol
this is very wrong all you need to do is tighten the fuck out of it and disengage the wires
lol
