Basically, all you really need (as mentioned by others) is a kevlar head on
top. I personally recommend Premier's Tendura, as I've had better success with
them over Remo's Falams. Tighten your snare head about 5 twists above slack, so
it feels like a table top. Tighten the snares to the point just below choking,
and the batter head until you have the pitch you want.

IMHO, that is...

Voda's Drum City in Omaha and Chad would help Joe and his mom out with
orders when he was not touring. I talked to Chad about his snare sound and
on the 1st & 2nd 311 cd's. Chad used mostly a Pearl Free Floater 5x14 maple
shell with a ambassador on top! See ya, Mike Carter

Is she Chad's mom? I've known her for ages and didn't know that she was
his mom.

First off what's wrong with that? I have a 1998 Export Select and I think it
kicks ass. As for the snare, it kind of makes me mad when alot of people are
all "I want it (the snare) to sound like 311" or they say "That snare is 311
tight." Is 311 a standard now for snare sound? To mimic the sound of Chad's
snare you will need 1) $500-$2000 to buy one of those vented OCDP snares, not
to mention all the mixers and triggers and crap to get that crack and in some
cases the honk. 2) you will have to have the same chops and style of Sexton to
get the same feeling from the drum. 3) Realize that this type of snare sound
wasn't born with Chad Sexton, it's been around for ages and please stop
refering to the snare sound as "311-ish"

When did I say that Chad was the originator of tuning his snare drum to
get a high pitched crack. I'm sure that he doesn't just use mixers. He
tunes it a certain way to get it high pitched. I also realize that the
type of snare drum matter, but I obviously can't afford an OCDP snare if
I'm playing some exports. I didn't ask for your bitching comment. I
thought you were pretty cool, until you turned into a bitch.

"kids" that i see in local drumshops that don't know the first thing about
developing proper playing skills, tuning, or even what a parradiddle is. They
just think they can crank their snare to it's max and they will magically turn
into the next Chad Sexton. Hopefully they will realize what it takes to become
a high caliber drummer.

sound like someone it is ok. The fact that the person can think that
they can be a better drummer by doing that is wrong. But, if they work
at it and practice maybe they can get to that next level. People have
to start out somewhere and if just that one sound is enough to inspire
them to continue playing that is great. So what if someone does not
know a parriddle right away. I am sure that somewhere down the road
they will be taught all of those little tools of the trade, maybe they
will teach themselves. I started out just with my little snare drum,
beating the shit out of it everyday. It took me 2 years before I
started to think about being serious with drums. Then it all finally
clicked, and not I am a percussion major in college. Everyone has that
clicking moment. When you were young did you ever go to a drum shop
and buy something because you saw someone else using a certain
product, because you wanted to be like them. Let kids at least dream
of being big so that they can someday make it a reality.
