Ok, so in the future, when I am tracking, how do I capture the right length in the first place? I am using 57's on both top and bottom of the snare. Should I compress the bottom with a fast attack, slow release to tape? How would tuning the drum change the length? I assume I would loosen the snares? I'm not a drummer, so tuning drums is quite foreign. Maybe I should try something like a SD condenser on the bottom.
