Tips and tricks
Maintenance
A little oil on the tuning screws from time to time will prolong their life. It will also keep the threads smooth.
Sticks
It is worth trying sticks of different strengths and lengths. This is the best way to find the sticks that suit your technique and playing position.
Heads
White coated heads are the most popular.
Strap
The most comfortable way to carry a snare drum is with a waist belt with two hooks. The hooks are attached to the left and right of the tuning screws. Sometimes the space between the tension ring and the tuning screw bracket is so narrow that it is impossible to attach the hooks. In this case, a metal ring can be used: loosen the tuning screw, pass it through the ring and secure it to the bracket. The belt hook can then be easily attached to the mounted ring.
