the bottom head should be tighter than the top because it bounces around and if you take it off then you take away sound... so it changes it.... the top head should only be tight enough to have no wrinkles in it

What are the strings at the bottom of the snare drum?
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.
What sound does the African drum make?
When you hit the top of the drum (also known as the head), the sound vibrates down through the drum and out through the hollow hole at the bottom. This is why professional drummers hold the drum between there knees so that the sound is clear and doesn't drown out.
How does the sound of the snare drum prouced?
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.

How does a snare work?

What is Phase change recording?
When recording a snare drum with a mic on the top and the bottom, a phenomenon known as phase cancellation can occur. Sound is a wave. A property of waves is that they can interfere with each other destructively and constructively. Imagine the sound waves caused when hitting a snare drum. The waves from the top of the drum will go into the top mic first, then the bottom mic. The waves from the bottom of the drum will go into the bottom mic first then the top mic. Because of the timing of the waves as they arrive at each mic, they will destructively interfere, and many of the frequencies integral to a good snare drum sound will be low in gain (volume). So a good audio engineer will use a phase reversal lead on the bottom mic. This is just like a normal lead, only the positive and negative pins have been reversed, and the phase cancellation will not occur.

How does a drum make the sound it preduces?
If played with a stick, and if the drum has two heads (top & bottom); The stick strikes the top (batter) head, sending air through the shell of the drum, making the bottom (resonant) head resonate. This results in sound waves emanating from both batter head (attack), and resonant (pitch, tone & projection).
How do you change the sound of the kettle drum?
a timpani's (kettle drum's) pitch is changed by adjusting a foot peddle, which tightens or loosens the heads
