Yamaha Maple Custom
Every tom and even the Bass Drum sets off significant snare buzz that lasts the duration of the drum being hit.
--Tried different snare drums
(3 maples, bronze and lm400)
--Different snare head tuning
--Different snare wires
--Different snare wire tension
--Different drum heads
(Clear ambassadors then
Coated ambassadors)
--Adjusting the tom batter tuning and the Tom reso tuning.
No discernible difference.
Seems like there is talk about, for example, Camco maple drums being very resonant so someone with a set like that may have run across this problem on some level.
The song to be recorded has an important melodic tom part and the toms are singing beautifully but the snare buzz is dramatic and unacceptable.
Zero rings nor moongel does anything to fix it
...Sure a different kit will make a difference (birch/thinner maple shells, etc.)
BUT
any suggestions of what can be done to stick with this thick maple shelled kit?
If this is an issue that you have never come across (the solutions I've tried
not working- done everything possible)then maybe
it could be:
small room with sound proofing/cancelling is being employed on walls and ceiling but the snare is exactly in the middle of the room. It may be possible the toms/bass drum soundwaves are bouncing around and wreaking havoc as they meet back at the snare that is in the crosshairs....
