If the drum is larger, most likely that the pitch is lower.
I personally have a 14" Pearl Philharmonic Snare drum and I love it. It isn't as expensive as some of the other competing brands, and, if tuned correctly, it can sound just as good as any "higher-end" snare drum. Black Swamp is making beautiful snare drums right now, but they are pretty pricey. I believe 75% of the quality of a snare drum lies in the tuning of the drum. If you spend a decent amount of time tuning your snare, you can make lower cost drums sound just as good as expensive models. In general, however, if price is not the issue and you are looking for a quality orchestral snare, I would buy a 14" Black Swamp Snare Drum with a Di-Cast rim and a Sterns Calf Skin head!
There really is no specific size that you have to be. As long as you are capable of marching drill while carrying the weight of the snare drum. We have students anywhere from very small and under 5ft tall to larger build and 6ft tall. If you are physically capable of carrying the drum and have the proper skills to play the parts then your size shouldn't matter at all.
It really depends on the type fo snare drum. For example parade drums are meant to be loud, but piccolo is a quieter drum due to its size. In the drum family, yes it probably is the loudest in perspective, but depending on how hard you hit it, it could be the bass drum as well.
Yes, except for size. Marching drums are larger (deeper) so they will move more air and make more noise since they are used outdoors.

yes, as long as itst the correct size, but i wouldn't suggest it. hey ladies call me, 480-336-0855

Alex uses a few different snares. In the recorded albums he uses a 14x7 truth snare with wood hoops and an Evans drum head. Live he usually uses the SLJ golden eagle signature snare which is also a 14x7

The standard sizes for drums are: 22" x 16" bass drum, 12" x 10" rack tom, 13" x 11" rack tom, 16" x 16" floor tom and a 14" x 5.5" snare drum. Snare, tom and bass drum sizes are commonly expressed as diameter x depth, both in inches, for example 14 x 5 is a common snare drum size. So the circumference is just Pi, which we approximate as 3.14 x diameter.
A full size drum kit without any additional percussion instruments includes a bass drum, floor tom, snare drum, tom-toms, and a variety of cymbals including hi-hat cymbals, a ride cymbal and one or more crash cymbals. The exact set-up is dictated by the type of music played and the drummer's personal preferences. For example, in most forms of rock music, the bass drum, hi-hat and snare drum are the primary instruments used to create a drum beat, whereas in jazz, ride and snare patterns tend to be more prevalent and the hi-hat is played with the foot.
Snare drums vary tremendously in size and price. If you're looking for a beginner snare you can probably find one for about 50$. However if you're looking for an average snare they vary between about 100 and 200 dollars. Eventually the more expensive snares such as Pork Pie, Orange County D&P, and others can cost from 400 $ and up. I would check out musiciansfriend.com or music123.com
On most drum kits it will be made up of a base drum (18'', 20'' or 22''), a small rack tom (10'' or 12''), A large rack tom (12'' or 13''), a floor tom (14''), a snare drum (14''), hi-hats (14''), crash cymbal (16'') and a ride cymbal (20'')
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.
