      Drum heads (the part you hit) actually have a lot of tension, which makes things bounce off them like a trampoline. A lot of fast drumming techniques use this so you just push down on the stick instead of having to swing it back and forth.

    @lowkeylunatic Před 4 lety +36

    Ok you've got the right snare, now for proper tuning for optimal sound:
    Tighten the top head super tight to get enough snap from the low momentum of the marble.
    The bottom head can be tuned as you wish to get the tone of the snare just right. ;)

    • @massjammster7986
      @massjammster7986 Před 4 lety +6

      Yes and no. The bottom one will mostly give more snare buzz and more sensitivity in the snare wires the higher its tuned and slight differences in overtones/resonant frequencies. The top will make the most difference in sound with there being a trade off of lower tuning = lower tone but less rebound so less volume and a little less buzz or higher tuning = higher tone and more rebound so more volume and snare buzz. With the Big fat snare drum top he'll get more low tone anyway but there'll be a trade off for sound in the tuning still. Somewhere there'll be a tuning that gets the best of both while sounding hopefully like the vulfpeck sound he wants. I hope some profesh drummer will lend a hand at some point with tuning to get the best out of it.

    • @lowkeylunatic
      @lowkeylunatic Před 4 lety +3

      @@massjammster7986 Gotta make a compromise due to low momentum of the marble. My personal suggestion. Ultimately this is Martin's choice in tuning. If you want an example of light snare play with a high tension top head listen to Michael Jackson's "Rock With You"

    Comparing the old marble machine with new you can really see the improvement in quality and standard. I can also see that all your patreon contributions are allowing you to buy really top class materials, tools and expertise. That is a great investment for a machine that will last and be enjoyed for a hundred years! It will be a lovely piece of industrial history when future historians look at what tools a builder had available in the early 21 Century to hand-build a complex machine.

    I have been following the MMX progress for the past few years now. I very rarely comment, but after hearing Martin play the MMX in this video I got crazy chills and I had to comment. Seeing the progress being made is outstanding. I remember watching the original MM and thinking that it couldn't get any crazier. And here we are years later with this beast of an instrument! I can't describe the joy I feel watching these videos. To Martin and the whole MMX team, keep up the amazing work! I can't wait for the tour!
