When I was a kid I had a Slingerland Kit with 2 Tenor Tymps, 4 mounted toms, 4 concert toms, 2 floor toms, double bass, a couple of snares, Gong, etc. !972. Before that, I had lessons from lots of different drummers. When Larrie Londin was at Motown I had some lessons from him. There are more than 9 ways to skin a cat. Ralph (Larrie) told me to detune and then tune a drum every day. That was great advice when it came to tuning a set with 12 toms. That being said, everything Mr. Dior says is legit. I'm now 68. The fingers just don't work the way they use too.
Love your videos Rick. I am bit confused though as the Ludwig supraphonic you used in the last section was 10 lug - counted when you unscrewed the tension rods with the drill!???
@@rickdior Hi Rick, thanks for this vid. On the bottom heads, are they tuned to the same A and G as the batter heads, or an octave higher? Most folks take their snare side heads higher by a fair bit. Thanks!
Thanks for the explanation, @rickdior . What still remains a myth to me is the response or side head. I want to replace my snare drum side head with Remo "Ambassador Snare" head that I heard goes really well with the "Ambassador" batter head. I heard it should be tuned a bit higher, but I am not sure how to do it. Then the snare should be removed to replace the head. Then the snare should mounted back to the way it was before. Is a wider snare replacement any better for Jazz? BTW, how tight would you adjust the snare for Jazz? Perhaps there is already a video among the hundreds at your channel explaining about the side head? If not, who knows you could also share it with us, as well? Again, thanks a lot for all these videos, sensei. 🥋
The bottom head is called the snare head. I use very thin Remo diplomat heads for that bottom snare head tuned to the same pitch as the top head. The traditional Jazz snare strainer adjustment is a bit looser than the pop/rock sound.

Great stuff, thank you Rick 👌
Brilliant, thanks Rick.
Thank you so much!
What is the bottom head pitch for the first snare on this video ?
It is an A
The first head change is a Diplomat Coated the one they sell like if it was a resonant head ?

Yes 10 lugs. For a minute there I thought I was tuning an Acrolite.
Old age dementia at its finest.
Thanks for the great video as ever, really enjoy your content!
whats the tunning relation between the bottom and top heads?
That information is in the description of the video if you click on that.
