I watch all these demos on YT and notice that when testing a snare, usually superimpose low, medium, high tunings.
The demonstrator will usually turn the lugs a bit and then call it medium tuning and so on.
My question, which I know is going to be subjective, is what constitutes low, medium, high ranges on a snare.
How do YOU determine these ranges.
Some of you use your ears, others a DD, others frequency readings and others tune to specific notes.
Personally, I tune to 196 hertz (center of head) which happens to be around a 3rd octave "G". I consider this to be "high" on my 5" supra.
