Host of the "Big Fat Five" podcast and Eve 6 drummer Ben Hilzinger shares his favorite snare sound, the unfortunate fate of his first professional snare, and what he would do to upgrade a cheap entry-level snare drum to make it gig-ready. We also implement and demonstrate some of Episode 2 guest Mike Johnston's ideas for upgrading the same drum.
