Should you get a snare drum or drum set?
It depends on what you want. A snare drum produces higher and lower sounds, if that's all you want, and a drum set comes with a snare drum, and a base drum (lower sounds only), and another drum that has higher sounds only (sorry, i don't know the name). Also a drum set comes with cymbals.

Percussion instruments aren't written in clefs. Each line of the stave represents a different drum. The snare drum is usually in the second gap from the top.
What is best size of a snare drum and who would be best drum company?
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!
What would a drummer to make the sound of a drum give a note of lower pitch?
It depends largely on how it is tuned. A large drum will generally produce a lower sound, but this is because they are usually tuned to produce that pitch because smaller drum heads do not have enough surface area to create that low a pitch without becoming floppy. Likewise, a large drum head such as a floor tom can produce a higher pitch, but not as high as a very small drum like a piccolo snare.
Can the snare drum play melodies?
No. but if you tighten the skins by twisting the bolts on the sides with a drums key the pitch will change. the snare cant play melodies cuz you cant keep twisting all the bolts fast enough. and you would look really stupid.How would u look really stupid by tightining the bolts on your snare drum?
Why is a snare drum called a SNARE?
It is called a snare drum because it has wires going across the center of the drum, underneath, when the drum is struck, it uses the metal wires to create a "sizzle" or "rattle" sound. This gives it the distinct sound that a snare drum has. And some people will just call a snare drum a snare for short.
Is drum a musical instrument with high sound?
Drums come in a verity of sizes and depths each can be tuned by adding tension to the drum head, the smaller the drum the smaller the surface area of the drum head this can have a lot of tension put in and will create a higher pitch. The Smaller tom-toms are normally called tenor tom-toms but bongos played by hand can be tuned high. The Snare drum can also have a high pitch as well but all in all it depends on how the individual drum is set up.
