A snare drum, by itself, cannot play a melody or tune like melodic instruments do, as it primarily produces a single pitch and is designed for rhythm and accentuation. However, skilled drummers can create rhythmic patterns that can suggest a sense of melody or mood within a musical context. Additionally, when combined with other instruments, a snare drum can complement melodic lines and contribute to the overall musical texture.

Yes if you have a double bass on a drum set it can go really fast.
An instrument that cannot play melody is the drum. Drums primarily produce rhythmic sounds and are used to maintain tempo and provide a beat, but they do not have the capability to produce distinct pitches that would allow for melodic play. Instruments like tambourines or shakers also fall into this category, as they serve rhythmic functions without melodic capabilities.
