I have a wooden shell snare drum made by Pearl. The snare beds on the bearing edge are fairly deep and wide.
My technical question is...when tuning the snare head, should I try to force the head to have the same pitch at all of the lugs? (Making the head in tune with itself.) Or should I allow the tensioners at the snare beds to be a lower pitch than adjacent tensioners?
Maybe I am being annal here, but I am thinking that it may stretch the head oddly if I make them all the same tuning.
