| How Do You Get THAT Snare Sound? [message #77602] |

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!!!
