do you ever get radio signals with the snare?

Once I got them in my fillings..sounded like a voice in my head one morning..never got it on the snare wires..but over the AC lines it happens quite a bit..

You have to put your head extremely close to the snare to hear the radio signals. It is there but very faint. Another problem is the snare drum has to be played to hear the signal. Try it out sometime.

You could be the key to getting off the island.
Be careful of the exploding plastic monkey plates.

true. the plates are made of plastic explosives. The monkey is being careless with them.

that monkey must want to die..

set the snare on a patch of Linoleum, that will help with the aluminium snare wires. If the entire floor is made of linoleum, then shit damn, john bonham will have your back and watch your wave forms for you.

Maybe that's Bonham... talking through the snare?

"But what about the times when there was only one set of foot prints around the drum riser?"

That was when John Bonham was carrying you.

Not being a coil of wire, but simply paralell wires, the induced magnetic field would not only be weak, but very axis-oriented. That is, it would be quite polarized in nature, and for any effect to be felt by the microphone, I would suspect the alignment or the strainer would have to be quite precise with that of the coil in the mic.

Parallel springs.

Hm. Okay, some strainers are 'springs', I suppose. Tiny little coils. And even being long, thin springs, the coils still has to be paralell to the coil in the mic to induce full flux energy. As the coil in the mic is likely going to be closer to perpendicular, as the diaphragm will likely be closer to perpendicular as well, that effect will be further diminished... (Or maybe I have this backwards in my head, but I don't think so...)
Others are kind of 'corrugated' wires. In any event, how much flux can these really induce? They are maybe moving a few millimeters at best.
Again, I don't think that the strainer motion will have any noticable effect on the coil or magnet structure of a microphone. Please someone correct my assumptions if you know the physics...

It doesn't happen everytime you record snare. Just occasionally.

A lot of people have been recording snares from the side of the shell.

I've recorded hundreds of snares. I'm very very skeptical.

Get a compass and put it next to your snare and play it.
