snare drum

Introduction

The snare drum or side drum is a widely used unpitched percussion instrument. It is often used in orchestras, marching bands and concert bands, drum corps and many other applications.

The snare drum is almost always double-headed, with rattles (called snares) of gut, metal wire or synthetics stretched across one or both heads. They may be made from various wood, metal, or acrylic materials. The drum can be played by striking it with a drum stick or any other form of beater.

We tried the snare drums today. Though we couldn’t make melody, we played an important part in tempo. I had missed the beats many times and felt embarrassed at first. However, I got used to it after some practice. It was an wonderful experience.
