Can this tune electric snare drum, or at least get the right tension?

This thing is amazing, but I have no experience with electronic drums. It measures pressures so it may work. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

If you have a hybrid snare the answer is yes since it's a regular drum head. If you are looking to adjust the "feel" of a mesh head like that of a Roland Vpad the answer is yes. The dial measures pressure placed against the needle indicator. You can use this to ensure that the tension is equally distributed among the head. If you are looking to "tune" the Vpad then the answer is no. The tension of the mesh itself has nothing to do with the sound that is produced. That's done with the sound head and also your sound guy. Electronic drums sound differently through the headphones than they do when you are out in the audience. If you have a hybrid snare the answer is yes since it's a regular drum head.

The drum head is stationary and requires no further tuning. Presumably you're aware that the shell of the drum must be unrestricted (other than the ropes) in order to resonate the vibration of the drum head which is synthetic and is not affected by temp/ humidity changes. IN OTHER WORDS YOU MUST HOLD THE DRUM BY THE ROPES WHEN PLAYING IT. LAYING THE DRUM FLAT ON A SURFACE SUCH AS THE FLOOR OR TABLE THEN BEATING ON IT WILL PRO DUCE THE SOUND YOU DESCRIBED.

Used it for dj 'ing, so I don't know how it works with and acoustic drum set. Sorry

You should be able to. It comes with several extensions so you don't have to use all of them and then you can adjust it when you twist the tension knobs.

I have a Ludwig snare stand. Any standard snare stand will work well. If you really want to have fun, pick up a Simmons DA200S drum amp. I highly recommend this amp as well.

Yes it can. I've used this on marching snares before. It is nice because it provides consistent tuning.

Sounds like you are stringing it the opposite way you should. As you tighten the string it should put tension on the whammy bar. Our guitar turned out great and plays good. Great guitar.

There's nothing to it. If you can change a regular drum head then you can do this. About 10 minutes per drum. My 5 yr. old grandson could do it.

It's pretty abrupt. You can adjust your play style to give it a better feel, but it's a pretty harsh curve. The only uses for this controller that I've found works best is composition and triggering loops. It works well for drum machines, but anything like velocity sensitive synths, keyboards, and orchestras are tricky to pull of perfectly with this.

Use the tuner and tighten with the tuning keys on the end until it's in tune

This tuner comes with full instructions and suggestions about setting up your drums. It will be up to you what tension to finally tune your drums to.

I would consider this a high pitched drum. It's only 8 inches, so not very big to give a very low pitch. That said, it's not tuned as high as a djembe or snare. They're not super precise and would change based on your humidity. I have 6 and they're all slightly different, but all have a good sound.

Yes. My son uses it on a regular drum set. It is a great pedal, I would definitely recommend it.
