Joey Jordison Owners let me have you attention.
I did a Tuning/tension study so please take note.
Game!!!
Considerations:
1. I installed a slightly used REMO USA Coated Ambs.
2. Bottom head is Fairly tight.
3. Snare wires is medium tight so it will not choke the drum.
4. 14 in Snare will sound VERy different from 13 in Snare okay? 14 is generally open sounding and 13 inches is kinda "compressed" meaning the tone is more focused.
Tension Glosarry
Super tight (95% tighened)- Sound is quick and lots of high mids. You'll literally cover your ears. The sound will work well for RNB guys here. But it has repercussions, the body of the sound is so thin. Meaning the roundness of sound is almost wala na. So bale the 6.5in deep only contributes to the volume na lang not the body. The sound is good for secondary snare.
Fairly Tight (90% tightened)- Sound is almost the same with the Super tight tension but with added body. You'll noticed the change. Good for today's POP music. The the favorite sound of Franklin and Jeff lima (i guess so).
Medium Tight (85% Tightened)- My favorite sound! Balanced High Mids and body. It's like a quick sound piccolo sound with body and depth! Basta it's the sound for me! Highly recommended!
Medium Tension (70-75% Tightened)- Okay ren sakin to. Imagine the sound of a 14x6.5 steel snare but in a more focused tone. Sound is compressed compared to a more open 14 inches snares. I really like the body with a bit of ring. Good for POP and ballads.
Fairly loose (70 below tension)- Buzzy and Ringy. Who likes that sound anyway?
You guys should experiment kasi ibaina tayu nang taste. Pero one thing i appreciate with this Snare. It has alot of dynamics on it. Kala ko maganda lang sound nya pag Super tight like what others say.
Please post your comments about this study ha!!!
O sa mga wala pa! BILI na!!! Hehehe!!!!
