The snare drum is guessed to have descended from a medieval drum called the Tabor, which was a drum with a single gut snare strung across the bottom.
The strings at the bottom of the snare drum are actually called "Snares". The tightness of the snares determines the length of the "chh" sound you hear when the drum is hit.
from the bottom of the drum
The drum that has wires across the bottom is called a snare drum. These wires, known as snare wires, are stretched across the bottom head of the drum and create a sharp, crisp sound when the drum is played. The snare drum is a key component of drum kits and is commonly used in various music genres, providing a distinctive backbeat.
No, but a snare drum has.
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.
the snares on a snare drum are on the outside of the drum. the causes the vibration to not be affected by the accoustics =================================================== Snares are located on the outside of the bottom head.
I believe you are referring to a snare drum. Most concert style snare drums have coils of wire stretched across the bottom skin. These wires are called "chains" and can effect the sound the snare drum makes depending on how tight or loose they are against the skin of the drum.
A snare drum got its name from the chains or snares on the bottom of the drum.
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.
A snare drum works by having these small bead like things on the bottom and when you hit it with a drum stick it rattles and it gets the sound it does when you hear it
