How I tune a Marching Snare.

This is a 14x12 Pearl Championship snare drum. I have a Blackmax on top, and a Falams II on the bottom. This video covers the process of changing the heads, maintaining your drum, and some other useful tips for making sure the heads are both seated properly on the drum, which seems to be the most common issue with heads routinely tearing out.
This process should not actually take 30 minutes. Realistically if I have the drum on the ground where I can put more force into it and a pair of keys, I can change a top or bottom head in about 5 minutes with this method.
Here is an example of this tuning scheme in a Full Ensemble setting. Short Ride in a Fast Machine, Cascades Drumcorps- 2015. Yes, they are wet. Easiest way to dry them out (If you prefer that sound) would be tape on the snares, and perhaps a 1/16th turn on the top head. Also make sure that bottom head is up to a D5.

Here is another example. Cascades Drumline 2017 at Denver lot. Top heads are a little bit higher than the 2015, but otherwise pretty similar. Bottoms are definitely at D5, and I think the guts were taped. Honestly I can't remember at this point.

Anyways, I hope this helps! There are plenty of ways to tune a snare drum, but this is just what I have found to enjoy listening to. This method works really well for a HS group with 4-6 players-- It will produce a very full sound. It is definitely "wetter" than most tuning methods, but I love the resonance that the drums produce. It is easy enough to adapt this method to get a more articulate sound if so desired.
Thanks!
