Get That Sound: Joey Jordison Snare Drum Tuning Process
.
.
.
This particular tuning was a lot of fun because I was able to borrow this snare from work and had the go-to drum head that Joey would use when he played with Slipknot.

Let’s get into it.

This tuning is built on a well-tuned snare side head and properly tensioned snare wires.

With that said, the snare side head is tight but has some give to it. The snare wires have an appropriate amount of tension that is not too tight or loose and allows the snare wires to breathe and not sound choked!

This process allows the snare drum to have sensitivity and articulation while in this higher tuning.

The batter-side tuning is a little more involved.

For starters, I equally “finger-tighten” the tension rods as tight as possible until I can’t turn them anymore with the nub of these two Snareweight speedy drum keys.

After the figure-tightening, I use quarter turns to add more tension to the drum.

This technique provides enough tension on the drum head and ensures you hear the shell and drum head working together.

The secret sauce for this process is the drum key technique and drum head choice.

The drum key technique allows me to know where I am tension-wise and know how much more I need to go when getting to a desired sound.

The Remo Controlled Sound X snare drumhead allows for a focused midrange tone with added durability.

This 13” x 6.5” steel snare drum tensions up fast, so having drum key technique and knowing your drum head is essential for me not to over-crank the drum that would cause it to choke.

What do you guys think? How do you achieve this snare sound? Does the process look similar to this? Leave a comment. Let’s talk about it!

Love you, guys!! Okay. Byeeeee. 🥁🤓❤️
