Then slowly tighten the snare wires while taping the batter side with a stick. You will find that once the wire touch the bottom head it only takes a little more tightening to get the optimum tention. You want the wires tight enough so that they don't have any residual buzz after a stroke, but not so tight that they, in any way, choke the sound. If you play with this, I think you will find that you have a pretty good buzz roll after all.
I think this is ok for some people to tension their strainer like this, but it isn't for me.
1.) When you record, you might find that your snares will buzz too much when other drums are played. But with a concert snare, ok.
2.) You should be able to buzz with a tight snare...don't cheat. Multiple bounce rolls should sound grainy, like paper ripping.
3.) Of course the rat and I are at odds again. My strainer is extremely tight and I think my snare sounds awesome.
