Is it chord or plastic wires sometimes if plastic then they have a tendency to slip also try adjusting with threaded stick open all the way that will give more room for slip I use to have a trixon snare the strainer is smaller than usual good luck

once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

What works for me is to set up snare tight, kick the BD drum while turning down the throw adjuster until buzz stops. Hit drum harder.

It`s a drum,.....Hit It !!

The shape or angle of the snare wire end plates has a lot to do with how a particular set of snares sounds on a particular drum. You just need to experiment with different types of snare wires, if you have other drums that you can "borrow" from, or extras lying around.
