Any tips to reduce snare buzzing when I hit my toms?
Gavin Says:
This is why I started cutting down snare wires in the first place - it seemed that the outside ones were a bit looser and were buzzing the most.
When I started using Puresound snares wires everything got easier because they are very well made and tensioned in the manufacturing process. Other than that - the most obvious thing is the pitch of the snare against the toms. I turn off my snares and compare the pitch of the snare drum to the toms that are buzzing.
If the pitch is close then I know there's going to be some buzzing problems. You never really get rid of all of it - but careful tuning and really good snare wires help.
