Is there a "snares off" snare drum sound?

I'm looking for something that sounds similar to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYGPxobEvFI

Having snares off for snare drums is a very common percussion tool, however in the standard "snare drum" instrument on MuseScore seems to have no options for that. Would I have to download a specific soundfont for this?

Snares off is possible in the new MDL Drumset in MuseScore Drumline (https://musescore.org/en/mdl), including rolls and rimshots with snares off.

While it has been built into MDL, it has not yet been "exposed" as the plan was to release this feature in a future update with a palette action that would use staff text to call the CC change.

For now you can access these by editing the drumset and adding new notes:

  • d2 - hit (snares off)
  • d#2 - roll (snares off)
  • e2 - rim shot (snares off)
