Is this a downtuned snare?

I've never heard a downtuned snare before (not that i know of), but this just screams out downtuned snare to me.

As I said, I dont even know what they're supposed to sound like sooo...


Thanks folks!

I'd say (from having metal experience - both listening to and playing myself) yes, although EQ Can change alot in sound and all. But the responsive sound of the drum cavity couldn't (shouldn't) be only EQ. No expert in recording, but i have been fooling around with EQ... Alot of metal downtune the drums for a fuller (more full? I need a Grammarpolice atm) sound. Besides that, different snares have different sound and "color". Still sounds downtuned though

It definitely sounds more open, might it might be looser from detuning. However, I am by no means an audio engineer, just a listener.

Not a recorder, but a drummer here. You can get this sound from a drum without digitally downtuning it IME. It just has to be tuned accordingly, and it has to be big and chunky.

Its definately not just eq, I can make a normal snare 'chunky' like this one with some eq, this is different.

And makkE, that's what I mean, physically looser heads, not digital.

Right now, I'm doing some recording, and snare sound is probably the hardest to get right out of the whole band. It needs to be punchy as heck but not show massive volume spikes. :/ Hence me researching snare sounds.
