15" x 8" snare - now sorted - video - 4 tunings.

All that was needed was a few minutes lowering the redo head tension. I naturally gravitate to cranking the reso on all snares, even for very low tunings. I find it excites the shell more efficiently, but that didn't sit well with this 15" snare. The reso head is now tensioned to a medium setting, & that's eradicated the discordant high overtones. A controlled sound head of some description may have achieved a similar result, but I'm a believer that if a snare doesn't sound good with G1 coated over Hazy 300, then the issue is the snare - even on a big ass 15" beast like this.



Anyhow, please cast your critique, but use good headphones, & select HD for better audio :)
