JOEL SIEGEL: So, the last aspect of the click that I want to address is having the snares
on versus having the snares off. All those sounds that we just went through with the
snares on and it's very slight but if you listen carefully you can hear the snares.
There's a certain bite to that. When you take the snares off, you'll notice a change in
the sound, you'll hear more of the drum.
These are two differences that you'll encounter a lot of times like we talked about earlier
if you're trying to emulate a Latin sound or for whatever reason when you have the snares
off, you'll find that these two sounds can make a little more of a difference than you
expect. So, sometimes you'll find yourself maybe turning on the snares for just the rim
click part and then when you're striking the drum, you'll turn it back off if you want
that open sound. Play around with those sounds, the position on the drumhead just the same
as before with the rim clicks, you'll find what you like.
