A Few Words About Snares

Whatever you do, don’t ignore your snare wires. They stretch over time, and gradually lose their tone, so be sure to change them before the wires become brittle and break. Never tension your snare wires so tightly that they choke the snare sound. Instead, find the sweet spot that allows them to sing. And be sure to mount the snares straight, so that they last longer and respond optimally.
