Any tweaks for snare drum that you like?? Any tips on how to get a better sound out of an Acrolite?
Try using an Evans Dry head, coated. I found that it really tamed my Acrolite in a really nice way.

Also just for sound try using Pure-Sound strainers and get some that are pretty wide. For me it balanced out the drum really well.
