Tune snare A. Set it up in the kit. Sounds great. Tune snare B and bring it on board, move snare A out to the left. Snare B sounds great, snare A sounds awful. Reverse them. Snare A sounds great again, snare B awful. Is the snare playing off the rest of the kit? Whatever it's doing, it makes anything two feet away sound both brittle and thin.

Possibilities: • Location • Juxtaposition • Both Test • Move the kit to snare A

When the snare is behind the drum set and between your legs, both you and the set serve as acoustic baffles/absorbers. I've known for a long time that a snare drum will present a different timbre when on its own and independent of the set. Ron |

Also true for the kit itself. Snare affects the rest of the kit. |

But of course each component affects the others. What is surprising me is not that the snare is affected, but by how much. Hard to believe I've never noticed it before. |

...and I always thought that the 'side snare' was to have a second drum. Really just to have a second location, eh?!

Ron So... ...going forward, we can pretty much ignore shell construction, head choice, etc., and focus on body fat index and clothing material. How much of that resonance is transmitted through the legs, to the floor? Rubber vs. leather soles? barefoot? I'll stop. |

Two drums of the same material, same heads, same tensions, sounding absolutely different. Never mind I don't like the one to the left, no matter which it is. |

Seriously Greg? When you pull your snare away from your kit, your toms and kick don't sound different? |
