Q: Why does my snare
drum rattle or buzz when I hit my toms, or from the bass
guitar?
A:
This type of rattle is called sympathetic vibration. It is caused when the
snares (metal strands on bottom) vibrate or resonate in harmony with the same
frequencies produced by the toms or bass guitar, or similar sound source. It can
be reduced by changing the tension on the toms, snare or both, and by dampening
either. It never goes away entirely, and can be heard on many professional
recordings. It is a character of your drums, since they are acoustic
instruments, and should be regarded as such. This rattle is generally not
noticeable in a live sound situation, such as a concert or show. If the snare
rattles when you strike the snare drum, please refer to the snare tuning section of this FAQ. - Blair Pemberton
