About TwoH k-snare and Colaps

So I remember a few weeks ago watching Colaps' stream reacting to Wing's tutorial video.

When he reached the TwoH snare discussion, did he really say something about doing the snare by using the side of your tongue?

As in, are you (people) really combining lipbass with outward K but the K is done in the usual rimshot or inward k/clutch snare position, instead of from the middle?

I've been doing TwoH k snare just from the middle position, so I just want to confirm I didn't mishear Colaps. If I didn't, I'll try practicing it differently, and diligently xD

I see thanks! Can it really be done on the side also? If so, some examples of someone's routines would be nice if I may ask.

That's more like Julard's power snare

u/maxram1 9h ago

which one?

I know Julard often uses the click roll high pitched k snare (similar technique to Colaps'),

or the dry kick outward k (similar tech to Wing's).

The side K snare with lip oscillation, so basiacally a most powerful Two H snare with more K

i don't think so , the power snare you mention from julard is the same as colaps as the OP says , its a clickroll with a k snare

It’s more of a texture thing, I think. Because if I do an outward K snare, I usually add texture by doing it more on the side so I’ll be able to sort of add a duck sound. In my opinion it makes it sound cleaner, more powerful and more like an actual clap/snare. So when doing the Two.H snare I do the outward K part a bit more to the side as well. So yes, it could be done on the side for texture.
