 what is your snare tilt?
this might be a repeat but i'm curious about how you tilt your snare.
do you have it flat (horizontal)?
tilted toward you? if so, how much?
tilted away from you? if so, how much?
i tilt mine away from me about 25 degrees or so and toward my floor tom about 30 degrees. it helps with rim shots (when i want them) and i just sort of like it. i think it might be hard to switch back.

i keep my snare tilted toward me a little to keep my hands at a comfortable height and so i'm not constantly banging rim shots.

um well.. the main reason is cuz I sit pretty low (broken throne heh) so for comfort's sake I need to tilt my snare just a bit to prevent hitting the rim.

I have my snare as flat as possible. I started playing like that, it's the only comfortable position for me

I have a slight tilt towards me. i don't really like it flat since i usually hit the rims and i can't even imagine it with a forward tilt - no idea how buddy rich does it.

I tilt mine just slightly toward me because I usually sit a little lower than my drums and don't wanna hit the rim. I have a gibraltar snare stand where the basket comes off an omni-mount ball so I've been able to get it to a pretty optimal angle. Love those omni-mounts!

I keep mine flat because I use it a lot. Also my band does blast beats and it is easier to hit the snare that quick when it is flat.

haha same here, had my throne for YEARS and it finally broke. it's either all the way down or nothing. Whenever I go into the drum store, something else always catches my eye, and I forget about a new throne, lol.
So yeah I have mine tilted SLIGHTLY towards me
