Make Your Snare Drum Hit Hard with Compression!

Описание: Snare drum compression is one of the big "secrets" that I've learned the importance of! In this video, I go through a few different compressors so you can hear the sound they give.

Compression can add more attack and sustain to your snare, which I used to think was all just in the way you play. You still need to play hard, but to get the in-your-face "smack" sound that you hear all over records, you can add a compressor for exaggeration.

If you've enjoyed the video, please subscribe, and let me know what else you would like to see more of!

Shoot me a message if you’re interested in jamming or some session work, I’d love to help!
