you can try a small piece of tape on the snares themselves or on the snare side head. Or detuning one lug of the snare bottom. Some drums have hi-tech snare strainers that have separate tensioning for pulling the snares lengthwise and separate tensioning for pushing them up against the head.
all of these ideas come at a price. I have arrived at the point of view that certain amount of snare rattle is part of the sound of a real drum kit, that it is inevitable and that it is even desirable. Hey might as well make a virtue of necessity. |
Thanks for the tips! Normally I don't mind a certain degree of snare rattle, when the buzz level is reasonable, but this particular buzz is really overpowering. I'm looking forward to trying some of these tips out tomorrow.
