I like my snare Medium Tight on the Batter head on Tight on the reso head. I try different things because I still like the snare to have some type of body to it and not ring out too much. I still like a little ring out of my snare though.

Try different tunings because there may be something that you never tried that you may end up liking.

What kinda snare is it? 10,12,13,14? I depends. I wouldn't tune a 14 too tight and I wouldn't tune a 10 or 12 that loose. You play old school R&B with a tight tune? Are you talking about Isley Brothers, Al Green Old School R&B, or Mint Condition, New Edition old school/pop type?

Id say yes if you are talking about the days when we used to buy the Pearl brass 13/3 and tighten it till it couldnt go no more days. Anyone remember them days? We used to break ear drums.
