I listen to contemporary CD's - jazz, rock, R&B, C&W, you name it - and hear
beautiful, bright snare drums that make my RTA bounce around in the 16K -
20K range. I can't make that happen without a ton of EQ. I usually use
a Crown CM-200 (electret condenser, kinda like an SM-57, but flatter and
cleaner to my ear) on snare, but I've tried a Neumann KM-84 and I still
need to crank the EQ to get that sound. Is that just what it takes? Are
there snare drums that naturally generate higher harmonics than most? Is
it something to do w/ the drum head? I've had the priviledge of recording
some pretty great drummers, but I still need to reach for the EQ to get
THAT snare sound!
Any thoughts?
Thanks, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Are we talking a snare with snap to it?
Generally a 5" deep metal snare drum...a ludwig black beauty comes to mind,
tuned fairy high on top and bottom with snares solidly on the reso head but
not choking the sound should get you in the ballpark
Piccalo snare drums 4" or less deep are good for that too but they tend to
sound a little less resonant ie: choked to my ear, depending on the snare of
course.
Micing from the underside will give you ton's of top end with pretty well
any snare, just be aware of phase issues with top and bottom mics

You're probably listening to an aural exciter of some kind I'd bet, perhaps
even a verb high pass tuned to those freq's.

My main snare is a 5" chrome Tama. I have had a bottom mic, but I still need
the EQ to get that brightness I'm talking about. It's not so much 'snap'
(I can get plenty of that!) as presence that I'm looking for.

16k & up? There's no snare I've ever heard that has much of
anything in it's fundamental frequencies up in that range, so
no matter what mic you use you're not going to have very much
but overtones up there for a snare, IMO. Brass ones usually
have a bit more "body tone" in a wider (to include "higher")
register, but it's still not way up there where you're talking
about; so without hearing specific cuts that you're referring
to, I'd have to say yeah, it's most likely just a matter of EQ.
But I have a couple other questions:
a.) You mention the mic you usually use, but what preamp do you
usually use for Snare? I wonder if you're hearing something
like that API "crack" on these cuts (or maybe similar fast
preamps that may have been used)? If you're using something
slower/softer, it ain't gonna happen - at least not exactly
like what you're looking for, I don't believe.
b.) Are you sure you're hearing the direct snare hit itself, or
are you hearing maybe some room in the overheads or possibly
some reverb that the higher freqs are coming from? Try
isolating the first 1/4 to third of a second of the snare
hit & see if your RTA still kisses those same frequencies.
Then isolate the next half-second or so, then the next... IOW,
see where those frequencies start coming into play on the
timeline & that'll tell you a lot.
Considering that there's a good chance that a lot of the snares
you're talking about were tracked with a '57 - a mic which
starts rolling off like crazy even before it gets to the 16k
you're talking about - I think I'm leaning towards this
possibility.
c.) Do you normally mic the bottom head too? I really hate
this, myself, but sometimes you can get a bit more "air" out of
it with the snares sizzling around right in the face of the
bottom mic. Problem then becomes finding a balance between that
effect and the inevitable "pfft" that results from this
top/bottom micing combination... throw Fleetwood
Mac's "Rhiannon" on your 8-Track for what I find to be an
extreme "pfftxample" of that sound. URRGH!
d.) Is is possibly more of a compression thing than an EQ thing
that you're hearing? You think it might be that VCA "splat"
from certain types of compressors (SSL's are great for this)
flattening out the body tone quite a bit? If that's it - or
part of it - dbx Comps are good at this, too... even the
cheapies.
I assume you've tried all the usual stuff like trying different
mic positions, or even different mics & pres?
Dunno... just having my morning coffee & throwing stuff out
there.

Or maybe one of those "Transient desgner" boxes. Anyone ever use them?

The Transient Designer will not really add any high end, though you can stretch
out the sound to hear more of what is there.
Personally, there is always, always, always a Distressor and a Transient
Designer on my snare track...:) I have a 4 channel TD and would like a second--very
useful tool...
I do cut sometimes with a 57 and a KM84 taped together and print on seperate
tracks--very seldom use under snare mics...

I thought about this & said "yeah, perhaps they're right"; then
it occurred to me - he's hearing this on LOTS of different
stuff, he's saying... the chances of ALL those different tracks
across all those different genres using an exciter on the snare
are pretty slim - besides, the Aphex exciters work up to the 7k
range, max, & the BBE's even lower than that, IIRC. Are the
plugin exciters that go higher into the range he's talking
about?
I'm still leaning towards a room or reverb thing.
Gantt-Man... you figure out this snare thing yet? I'm curious.

Another thing that might be... leakage from a gate. This could be in the
form of cymbal bleed into the snare (furthered by hitting a verb when it
opens) or possibly just so much compression that it's causing a hiss when
the snare gate opens?
W/O hearing what you're hearing Gantt, I'd only be able to guess.

I use an SPL TD, though not during tracking. It's great for mixes though.
Another secret weapon is the UAD-1 Neve 33609. this thing provides some
serious snare mojo.

The Transient Designer intrigues me. I might have to check one out. And
I need to figure out a way to use the Neve EQ w/ Paris. As soon as my new
UAD-1 card comes (and assuming that there doesn't turn out to be anything
wrong w/ one of my old ones!) I'm planning to install one in my old G4 to
try using the newer UAD-1 FX in Digital Performer. I'll have to shift the
tracks an extra 13 ms to compensate for the trip in and out of DP, but it
might work!
Thanks, and Happy New Year!
