Snare Lab

Version 3.0 is here. Smarter AI recommendations, sharper tuning reads, and faster results. The most powerful snare tool in your hands just got better.

Snare Lab is the most complete snare drum toolkit ever built for iOS. Tune, identify, match, and dial in any sound — powered by AI.

The Identify tab contains four AI modes:

MATCH MY SNARE Tell the app what you want to sound like — a song, artist, or era — and tell it what drum you have. Snare Lab returns a complete guide: exact tuning targets, head recommendations chosen for your specific shell, step-by-step dampening instructions with product names and placement, snare wire recommendations, and an honest assessment of what your drum can and can't do.

AI SNARE RECOMMENDER Describe the sound you're after. Get a specific snare recommendation with tuning targets, head suggestions, and a full genre-matched setup.

AI PHOTO IDENTIFICATION Point your camera at any snare drum. Snare Lab identifies the brand, model, shell material, and tonal character — then loads the right setup automatically.

AI AUDIO IDENTIFICATION Play a hit into the mic. The app identifies the drum by sound and populates your tuning targets.

PROFESSIONAL TUNING Live lug-by-lug pitch detection with Hz readouts and note names. Supports 6, 8, 10, and 12-lug snares. Tom tuning (14 sizes) and kick drum tuning (click/attack and fundamental targets) included.

HEAD RECOMMENDATIONS Every genre selection generates specific batter and resonant head recommendations for studio and live use — Remo, Evans, and Aquarian options matched to your drum and context.

ONE-SHOT MIXER 25-snare professional sample library with full DSP chain: EQ, compression, reverb, delay, saturation, and transient shaping. Waveform trim with draggable handles. Export processed audio directly.

SNARE CASE Save up to 10 named setups — genre, size, tuning targets, heads, and mixer state. Load any setup instantly.

ACCESSORIES & DAMPENING Genre-specific recommendations for head overlays, Moongel placement, Snareweight, Revival Wires, brushes, rods, and mallets. Orchestral and marching handled separately.

QUICK REFERENCE WITH READ ALOUD Full tuning reference for any drum type, readable at a glance or spoken aloud — keep your eyes on the kit while you work.

Built by Trevor Lawrence Jr. for drummers who take their sound seriously.
