Hello, I'm quite new to Adobe Substance Painter, so my question might be a bit dumb, but I can't figure it out. I have weird Ambient Occlusion on my model.

 

The shape is pretty simple and Low Poly, I've checked all normals. If you have any clue.

Hi,
You have some strange stretching around the cylinder of the drum. I would add an extra seam so that it unwraps as a flat rectangle. In addition, if the problem still remains after that, try triangulating in Blender for exporting to Substance Painter.
