I personally have a 14" Pearl Philharmonic Snare drum and I love it. It isn't as expensive as some of the other competing brands, and, if tuned correctly, it can sound just as good as any "higher-end" snare drum. Black Swamp is making beautiful snare drums right now, but they are pretty pricey. I believe 75% of the quality of a snare drum lies in the tuning of the drum. If you spend a decent amount of time tuning your snare, you can make lower cost drums sound just as good as expensive models. In general, however, if price is not the issue and you are looking for a quality orchestral snare, I would buy a 14" Black Swamp Snare Drum with a Di-Cast rim and a Sterns Calf Skin head!
Well it has evolved from being only used as a marching snare in war to make its way in to music, spearheaded by jazz, the snare drum is now a necessary of every drum kit and concert band. Little known fact: before the snares of the snare drum were made of metal, drum makers used dried cats' intestines for the snares.
To make your snare drum stop rattling, you can try adjusting the tension of the snare wires, ensuring they are evenly spaced and not touching the drumhead. You can also experiment with different types of dampening materials, such as gel pads or moongel, to reduce unwanted vibrations.
To achieve a crisp and powerful snare drum rim shot sound, make sure to hit the drum head and rim simultaneously with a strong and controlled stroke. Experiment with different drumstick angles and pressures to find the right balance for a sharp and impactful sound. Additionally, consider tuning your drum to a higher pitch and using a snare drum with a sensitive and responsive snare mechanism for better results.
It sounds like another person hitting a different person.
it depends what kind of drum. some drums have a simple elastic band that vibrates, and a snare drum, has some metal snares, that's why its called that.
To tune a rim snare drum for the desired sound, start by tightening the tension rods evenly in a crisscross pattern. Use a drum key to adjust the tension until the drum produces a clear and crisp sound. Experiment with different tensions to find the desired pitch and tone. Make small adjustments and listen carefully to achieve the best sound.
Yes, except for size. Marching drums are larger (deeper) so they will move more air and make more noise since they are used outdoors.
The best technique for securing a snare drum with tape during a performance is to use strong, durable tape like gaffer tape or duct tape. Start by placing strips of tape across the bottom of the drum, ensuring it is tightly secured to the drum stand. Then, add additional strips of tape around the sides of the drum to further secure it in place. Make sure the tape is applied tightly and evenly to prevent any movement during the performance.
Cymbals. The others have strings that vibrate to make the sound.
2+ Tom-toms, 1-2 snare drums, & 1-2 bass drums.
You hit the pad and the electronics sense the impact, usually with an impact force sensor for different volumes, and the signal is sent to the soundboard via wire. On the soundboard there are multiple plug inputs. One for snare, bass drum, cymbols, etc. The "drum" itself doesn't make the noise but rather the input. You could plug a cymbol into the snare input and you would still get a snare sound. The soundboard just senses the initial impact and amplifies it as a drum piece.
