A classic rock snare drum will sound in different ways. Listen to The Who of Keith Moon, his is higher pitched but with a slight dark sound. Listen to Pink Floyd's "Money" to hear another sound of the snare drum. That sound is probably the most familiar of the classic rock genre. But it all depends on what you think sounds best.

The sound depends a lot on the shape and size of the drum, but a tip I was shown to tighten and raise the tone was to stretch a strip of cloth across the top, below the head! It damped the head, taking the "boom" out of the tone and giving a snappier, slightly higher-pitched, quality to the sound.

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.

Snare is a type of Drum, not a component like the head or skin.

By the way have you heard the term (Biff!) it is aplied both to a style of drumming and also a nickname for Drummers- Bobby Ettinger, if you are out there, I remember (Biff!)

My snare drum sounds like a bongo help?
I might not be of much help as I'm a guitarist, but I played in bands years back and the drummer had a key that looked like a radiator key and he used it to adjust the snare drum. He used to hit the snare with one drum stick and use the key to adjust the nuts on the top of the rim, it changed the sound. Also he used to adjust the springs on the underside of the drum (not sure how). I think it's the springs that give it the "Snare" sound. My guess is that the skin maybe too tight on your drum and/or the springs are not "Rattling" enough. As I said, I'm a guitarist and the drummer couldn't play my guitar. Hope this helps.
