What is the best snare made of?
This question has as many answers as there are drummers. It all depends on the sound you are looking for. Popular woods are basswood, maple & birch - with some high end snares being made of bubinga. Steel snares are probably the most rugged of the line. Acrylic snares are strong as well. The type of wood used determines the subtleness or attack of the sound. Basswood (like alder) is a softer wood with good attack. Many entry level drum kits are made of this wood. Maple & birch have good attack, and a crisper sound. They're also stronger than basswood. But like I said, play em all and decide which sound YOU like.
