In today’s new video, Dylan Wissing of Indie Studio Drummer shows off 10 ways to totally revamp the sound of your snare drum on your next session.

Sometimes, small things can make a big difference! Hear these changes for yourself as Dylan radically morphs the sound of a single snare, and demos different muffling materials, drum tunings, snare bands, tensions and more. All without moving a mic or tweaking audio gear.

Special thanks to Tomás Shannon for his work on the audio and David Moran for filming.

Dylan Wissing is a drummer who has worked with Alicia Keys, John Legend, Drake, Kanye, Jay Z, Eminem, Needtobreathe and more.
