You use sticks, but a special pair of snare sticks. You do NOT want to use trap set sticks on a marching snare drum. If it's a trap set snare drum then you can use thinner trap set sticks.

Is taping drum sticks better or worse?

it is worse if you are not tapping on your drum hint: you don't want to bang too hard if you are playing snare drum.


What elements are included in a standard drum set?

Five really, for the basic kit. Bass, snare, hi-hat (orig. called the Charleston Pedal, apparently), ride cymbal, tom-tom. That 5 will cover a lot of arrangements especially if you are inventive and proficient with the snare-drum and cymbal; but you can add extra tom-toms, cymbals of various sizes, a second bass-drum, wood-blocks, cow-bells and so on. You can also use different "sticks" - the basic sticks with wood or plastic tips, brushes (used a lot in jazz and dance-band styles), and for special effects tympani beaters and slap-sticks.

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.

Do you need marching drum sticks yo play marching snare?

Not necessarily - but you should use them. With regular snare sticks (5A or something) you will get a very thin and weak sound. Your rolls will be different. And you will go through sticks like crazy with them breaking all the time. Get a pair of marching sticks. They will last a lot longer and save you money in the end.
