• DrumDial snare tuning

    Hi drummers,

    Some month ago I bought a DrumDial for tuning my drums heads. I don't
    want to miss it again - reproducible tuning can finally be archived by
    anyone. I didn't find the right tuning for my snare yet: It is a
    14"x5,5" steel hoop maple snare (Tama S.L.P.) and I play it in a jazz /
    big band context.

    The DrumDial howto suggests a tuning of 85/82 (head/reso), but I am
    looking for a higher pitch. How far do you go pitching your snare
    (metered via DrumDial) and in which ratio you tune batter and resonant
    heads?

    Regards,
    Christian
