HOW TO TUNE THE SNARE DRUM
To ensure maximum performance of your snare drum, it must be tuned
correctly.
Let’s discuss the optimal tuning method.
<TENSION ADJUSTMENT>
The standard way to tune a drum head is to tap the head lightly (with a
finger or a drum key) in front of each tension bolt. As shown in Image 21,
keep tuning in the order of diagonal lines. If you tighten one spot too much,
that causes the head tension to be uneven, which makes it difficult to tune
to balanced tension of the entire head.
When turning the bolts with a drum key, turn all the tension bolts until you
begin to feel resistance. From that point on, give a half or quarter turn to
each bolt till you get the same pitch from the entire head. To lower the pitch,
loosen tension bolts more than want and then tighten the bolts to raise the
tension to obtain a balanced tone.
Because it is difficult to hear the pitches on specific spots on the head,
rest fingers on the center of the head to mute when turning the bolts. This
makes it easier to pick up the pitches close to the tension bolts.
The shell bottom edge where the snappy snare wires contact are cut more
deeply than the rest of the edge of the shell. Thus, the bolts adjacent to the
snare wires require higher tension in order to enhance the response of the
snare wires.
<CHECKING TENSION WITH TENSION WATCH>
For more precise tuning TAMA offers their unique Tension Watch products,
the TW100 and TW200. They allow tuners to see the degree of tension in
numbers and help create maximum performance.
By placing the Tension Watch on the head, you can visually measure the
tension, which allows easier and faster tuning.
Our snare drums come standard with a REMO Diplomat batter head that is
set for tension 80, and snare side head set for tension 55.
<SNARE SIDE HEAD TUNING>
Also, for optimal drum tuning, it is important to balance the batter and snare
sides. Whenever you tune the batter side make sure you do the same for
the snare side.
