+1 - what Steve said... and here's something that will help you tuning-wise.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qxm3QunDjUsJohn

Absolutely the best tuning you will ever get from a snare is by using this video to the exact instruction. If I can use it to make an MIJ snare sound amazing, just think what you could accomplish with a "real" drum...

Check the with of your snare beds,if you have them at all.I suspect that they may be too narrow for the 20 wire,but just right for the 14.Tune the reso head tighter than the batter side,and try detuning the reso side lugs to the left and right of the snares just slightly.Steve B

I am fairly certain this drum doesn't have snare beds. I've got the reso tighter than the batter. I'll try detuning the lugs a bit as suggested.

Thanks!
