The snare rattle in a drum kit is caused by the vibration of the snare wires when other drums are played. To minimize or eliminate it, you can adjust the tension of the snare wires, use a snare drum with a different design, or use accessories like a snare drum dampener.

Why is a snare drum called a SNARE?

It is called a snare drum because it has wires going across the center of the drum, underneath, when the drum is struck, it uses the metal wires to create a "sizzle" or "rattle" sound. This gives it the distinct sound that a snare drum has. And some people will just call a snare drum a snare for short.


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.


What is the snare drum also called and what gives it its snare sound?

It doesn't have another name. The snares are steel wires, sinuously-wound and tensioned so that they contact the lower drum-head. When the top head is struck, the snare-head resonates in sympathy, making the wires rattle against it to give the characteristic timbre to the drum's sound.


What vibrates when each what musical instruments is played?

What is a snare made for?

It gives a rattle effect to the drum to which it is attached. It consists of a frame carrying several, parallel steel wires wound into an open spring shape, and arranged to press gently against the lower, or snare head, of the drum. Since that head is vibrated in response to the vibrations of the played head, the snare wires rattle against it. One effect is to smooth a properly-played roll by giving something akin to a glissando from stroke to stroke. It also seems to reduce the lower-pitched components of the drum's sound, and deaden the ringing a bit, so if the drum heads and snares are adjusted correctly the tone is much snappier.
