How a snare drum works?

Answer 1

It can be played in different ways, marching style which is more rudimental (look up

the "26 Standard Snare Drum Rudiments"), clave style which the terms would be

called "rim knocks", "rim taps", or "cross rim" depending on where/who you learned

from, drum kit style which is where it is primarily used to strenghthen the back beats,

and in the fashion of a tom when flipping the snare switch off.

The list aboves shows how snare drum is often played but really the snare drum as

well as any other drum or cymbal can be played however you want it to be, no one

can set the limit on your creativity but you.

I hope this is what you were looking for. If not then I hope you enjoyed the lesson. :)

A snare drum is a relatively simple piece of kit. On the bottom of the drum, there are loads of stretched out springs, or snares, which are extremely tight, resting on the underside skin. When you hit the top skin of the drum, the bottom skin vibrates, making the snares bounce, making the metallic noise. slack snares also rattle for a while afterwards, though it doesn't sound good, so most drummers opt for the snares to be as tight as possible, to eliminate any rattle after the hit.

Answer 3

There are a few different ways to play a snare drum. Typically, you use the head of the drum stick to hit the center of the drum head. That gives you the normal "pop" of the snare drum. Another way to hit a snare is to use both the shaft and the head of the stick to hit both the rim and the head of the drum at the same time. This is called an accent. It gives you a much louder pop. It is a bit difficult to master, but when you do, it adds a whole new dimention to your playing. And the last is called a rim shot. To do this, you use the shaft of the stick to hit-you guessed it-the rim of the drum. The sound this produces is almost like that of a block, just alittle quieter. (Unless you don't have a block, this is rarely used, but it can sound really cool sometimes.)

Answer 4

Really, plays the parts written for the instrument within the whole arrangement, just as any other player in the band or orchestra plays his or her instrument's part!

He or she has to be able to read music - a special interpretation of the standard notation is used for drum and cymbal parts because those instruments are not pitch-tuned (with the exception of the tympani); and the indvidual strokes are single impulses not sustained sounds. Thus although the drummer's score may show a quaver, it only means play a stroke at that note's starting-point in time within the bar, not play a stroke 1 quaver long.

Answer 5

The snare drum is a percussion instrument. It is played by striking the surface or rim with sticks or brushes.
