made a big difference, worth the effort my only suggestion would be to use a spray adhesive for the sandpaper so that it will be easier to apply and change when the paper is worn
In my experience squaring up edges makes a huge difference. After i cut + hand sand edges i do a small flat on the edge apex using the same process. Cheers!
Yea, after i hand sand edges down to 500 grit i square the edges on a glass tabletop with 150 grit taped to it. I go easy like 2-3 turns at a time and keep checking to make sure i can visibly see the flat across the whole edge. Softer woods like mahogany you have to go really easy with.
If you sand than treat the edges with something like tung oil it's much easier to see the flat. Once the flat is seen across the whole edge i stop squaring. I get big resonance + sustain by doing a wider flat as the drum diameter increases.
Gracias por subir el video..... Genial...

Great tip - will do next time!

Just so they are super square? What grit do you use for that last small flat?

@@doublea7054 That all makes sense to me, will try it the next time I edge. Thanks for sharing your knowledge :)
Good luck!
The uneven part of most snares is the snare bridge on the snare reso side. I almost sanded my snare before realizing that it was made that way.
