Drums

I want to explore and learn more about snare tones, and was curious to hear some favs around here.

Bonus points for describing how to get that sound :) I'm a recording engineer and would like to experiment with any ideas people have!

For me personally I love the super tight and muffled sound of JD Beck's snares, like in this video. Seems like he usually tunes it super high and mutes it with random objects. Putting things like splashes to mute the sound AND have another percussive voice is really smart too.

I'm also a sucker for super open and crunchy snares, like the one in the beginning of black enuff by redveil. Tuned a little high(?) but letting it ring and compressing it until it distorts. It's just so ANGRY
