Snare is a type of Drum, not a component like the head or skin. My guess the term was used by analogy with (Trap) one speaks of a trap drum set-the usual drummer"s ensemble, and the snare drum is part of that, also a snare is a type of trap-and is so decribed in one of the verses of Amazing Grace- through many dangers, toils, and snares, no, not the autobiography of a drum repairman. snare is a type of drum, not the component of the instrument. a device called a systrum- or cistrum is inside the drum and makes the rolling, rat-at-tat sound with sort of rattle sound, this may be what you are thinking of. By the way have you heard the term (Biff!) it is aplied both to a style of drumming and also a nickname for Drummers- Bobby Ettinger, if you are out there, I remember (Biff!)

How does the sound of the snare drum prouced?
The snare drum is different to normal drums, as it has two skins. Under the bottom on are a series of chain-like-things. (Sorry for not being more specific). When you hit the top skin, the bottom one vibrates making the chains rattle. The snare is the "chain-like-thing" referenced above and it really isn't chain-like at all. A snare is several long, thin, metal strands with a very tight spiral pattern. They are stretched along the resonant head (bottom head) of the snare drum. The vibrations of the snare against the head produces the snare drum's signature sound. The snare can be tightened or loosened to change this sound from a sharp crack to a soft fizzle.
