Hey All,

wanted to see what this tama snare sounded like off the mics and thought that instead of just recording it and doing nothing with it, why not share the samples here, maybe someone will find some use for them.

I've recently recorded a band who loved the mix, but the drummer was unhappy with the snare sound. Now he's a big guy, with a big kit, and his playing is solid but funky. Very Bonham influenced. Anyway, when we initally discussed the sound they wanted, it was all about getting a huge sound from the kit.

So i have a triton and cubase. How do you do rolls with a snare drum? I can possible hit the keys that quick. Am I missing something?

I'm most likely not the first person to have done this, but I've never heard of a snare being recorded like this. Today I was hastily setting up my drums to record while my parents were at a party. I had to finish before they got back cause they hate the noise. I only had half of my drums at this house: snare, floor tom, and ride. Thats it.

What's up, it's my first post here. Wanting to know if anyone has a trick up their sleeve...

I recorded drum tracks for Misty with my jazz group last night. Among several other problems we are having with the song, I'm not really satisfied with the sound of the brushwork on snare. I'm using a SM57 on the top of the snare, NT5 underneath (useless for brushwork) and SM81s for overheads. The overheads pick up a cool sound. Very old school.

I thought I'd start a thread on snare drums that sit well in recordings. I'd like comment on:
1. Brands, shell materials, sizes.
2. Heads
3. Tuning tips and preferences
4. Snares / other adjustments.
Please indicate the type of music you play when posting.

Hi! I've been listen to many recording and I'm always a big fan of reverb on snare. I want to know how to put reverb on a snare drum...

Any tips?

Thanks :)

Hi All,

I have always had an enjoyable experience on this site, always been helpful so I thought I'd attempt to make some snare samples to repay people on here. This is the 1st time ive tried this (will do more in future) so I'm not sure if they're usable but as they say, variety is the spice of life. You can never have too many samples i guess!

I know there are lots of solutions for the snare hi-hat problem - but I want to ask if anyone has tried this:
