“Cranked” For Sound, Feel & Response
First time purchase of this drum head. Bought specifically for a newly purchased Sonor 14”x6.5” Prolite Chrome Over Brass Ltd Edition snare drum, also from Thomann.
It was bought in anticipation that this snare may produce more overtones than I wanted and this head would tame them.
I have tightened, some would say “cranked”, the head to very high tuning. This has given me the articulation, feel and response that I need for the music I’m gigging. Crack when struck in the middle, with the option of timpani style licks with rimshots at the edge of the head. I felt that looser tuning produced a noticeable lazy response from the head, which I had to fight for articulate beats; it may be by design for straight backbeat playing.
I am happy with this head “cranked” high, gigging with it and I’ll leave it on until it wears out
