Welcome to a very special Three Part edition of The Sounds of Snares! My friend Chris made the drive out to visit me and brought Three very special snare drums with him for me to try out and for you to learn about! Each one has an amazing story behind it and here we are diving into each one individually! In the first episode, we also get to meet my special guest and here all about him. Then we dive into the snare drum information and of course he then lets me take it out for a test drive!!

In our Final Episode we dive into this mind bending DW Acoustic EQ snare.

Advanced Selectable EQ Venting System
The DW Acoustic EQ Snare takes on an innovative approach to snare adjustments and customization, offering a selectable EQ venting system which allows you to variably control the amount of air leaving the drum through a series of gates around the shell. The system is controlled through two adjustable metal handles found on the side of the snare. They can be partially or fully opened to your preference, and both operate independently for more precise tuning alterations. With the vents open, you can expect snare wire crackle with a crisp and punchy sound, while closing them results in a more focused, fatter lowend. Progressively closing the vents allows you to customize the amount of midrange focus and control to best suit the rest of your mix. Not only does the EQ’s venting system drastically affect the sound, but also the feel and response of the snare as a whole.
