I adjust my snare tension a lot while I'm on a gig. I can't change drums out like I might in the studio, but I can easily change the tone as needed.kentothink wrote: i ALSO find that making minor adjustments to the tightness or loosness of the snares makes a BIG difference. sometimes it doesnt sound like a sound i would use on a gig but it comes out GREAT recorded.
Snare tension is a major part of snare tuning.
