Welcome back to Musician's Addition! In this video, we’re diving into tuning a snare drum after changing both heads in our previous lesson. From getting started with just a drum key and stick to perfecting the sound of your drum, this video walks you through the entire process step by step.

📌 What You’ll Learn in This Video:
- Starting with the bottom head: Finger-tight checks and wrinkle adjustments
