Tuning Snare Drum

So I normally have to fix up my drums twice a year. I get all new heads, wipe down the inside, vacuum the carpet around the set, clean cymbals, ya know, the works.

I had to completely fix up my snare. New Bottom head, attach new snare chain, new batter head, and now I can't tune it to the way I want. I've spent more than an hour trying to get it right. It's a brass Ludwig. The batter head is a Evan genera HD and bottom head is a Remo Hazy Ambassador. When I first bought it the guy tuned it perfectly.

How Should I tune this thing, to get a deep pop with close to no residual tone. I dont want to hear the snare chain ring and that high pitched buzz.

:hurry: :mecry: I can't play until I get this right.

I have the same problem with the high pitched ring but there's not a lot I can do to get rid of that, no matter how hard I try.
I guess I won't be much help to you as I just crank the top head of my piccolo as hard as I can and keep the bottom eased off a little bit. I'd kill for a ludwig.

Try tightening up the bottom head and the snare chain itself. Do quarter turns cross lug until you are happy with the tone. Tuning drums is difficult to master and takes a lot of time.

Just keep working at it!

I tune my drums with an acoustic guitar to the key they play.
will elaborate when I'm not drunk.
they sound pro...and in tune

One of the best things I can impose on other people when it comes to tuning drumset stuff is do not, and I repeat, DO NOT take the head very high at all. I run into this problem a lot with my pork pie. Not everything needs to be super-tight to get the sounds you want.

That being said, if you want less snare and more oomph, tighten the strainers (you may need to re-adjust the initial tightness of the snares by releasing the throw-off and resetting how much plastic strip goes through it, on the ends) and tightening it from there), and take the bottom head a little higher than the top. Don't be afraid to explore different tensions between heads.
