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.
