When it comes to the sound of your kit, nothing is more important than the snare. It’s the voice that cuts through everything — the backbeat that holds the whole band together. If your snare isn’t right, it can throw off your entire gig. Over time, heads wear down, coatings chip, and tuning starts to drift. Even the best snares need a little attention now and then to keep them sounding their best.

That’s why this November, Sims Music is offering a Snare Drum Setup Special for just $49.99 — the perfect way to bring your snare back to life and get it sounding like it should.

What’s Included

For $49.99, our drum techs will give your snare the full treatment:

• Install new heads (includes one 14" Remo Coated Ambassador batter head and one 14" Remo Ambassador Hazy resonant head)

• Clean the drum and hardware

• Professionally tune it up and get it ready to play

If your snare uses different sizes or you’d like to choose other brands or head types, no problem — just bring it in. Additional charges may apply for alternate options, but we’ll walk you through everything before we start.

Why It Matters

Your snare is the heartbeat of your kit. It’s the drum you hit more than any other, and it takes a beating — literally. Over time, heads stretch, coatings wear down, and the tone starts to lose life. A fresh set of heads and a proper tune-up can completely change how your kit feels under your hands.

New heads bring back that crisp attack, clean tone, and lively response that makes you want to play more. It’s one of those small upgrades that makes a huge difference, whether you’re practicing at home, tracking in the studio, or playing live.

A Little Maintenance Goes a Long Way

While we’re at it, we’ll make sure your snare is cleaned up, tuned right, and performing the way it should. If you want to take things a little further, we can also upgrade your snare wires, replace any worn parts, or handle a deeper cleaning or repair if needed. Some of those services may come with a small additional charge, but we’ll always walk you through your options and make sure your drum gets exactly what it needs.

Get Tuned Up This November

Keeping your snare in top shape isn’t just about sound — it’s about feel, consistency, and keeping your gear ready to perform. If it’s been a while since your last head change, November is the perfect time to treat your snare to a little TLC.

Drop it off at Sims Music and we’ll take care of the rest. You’ll walk out with a snare that looks clean, feels fresh, and sounds amazing.
