SNARE DRUM SELECTION

To learn more about snare drums, including the drums your favorite drummers play, ask your dealer or log on to the drum companies’ websites listed throughout this guide.

There’s a good reason why drummers havesuch a wide variety of snare drums to choosefrom: each one has different sound and per-formance characteristics. And, because thesnare drum is so important in defining thefeel and mood in so many forms of contem-porary music, understanding how eachdrum’s tone, pitch, projection and articula-tion is affected by its material, weight, diam-eter and depth can help you decide whichone is right for the music you play.

To begin with, the material or type ofshell is a big influence on the sound of anydrum. Wood shells such as maple and birchare popular because of their deep, darksound and versatility. Metal shells madefrom steel, aluminum, copper, bronze andbrass, for example, are brighter than woodand each has its own tonal qualities andapplications, too. Other materials, from tita-nium and carbonfiber to acrylic and pheno-lic, provide even more tonal options.

Secondly, size matters. The diameter ofthe drum determines its pitch and the depth

controls the clarity of the sound. The small-er the drum, the higher the sound. Theshorter the shell, the dryer the sound.

Shell thickness and weight also play arole in tone quality. A thicker, heavier shellwill be brighter and higher in pitch than alighter, thinner one.

Generally speaking, a drum with ahigher pitch and brighter, more focusedsound will tend to be louder, more powerfuland preferred in high volume situations. Butdon’t merely pick the brightest, thickest,heaviest, smallest, highest pitched snaredrum you can find. All snare drums natural-ly have a powerful, focused sound due totheir small, shallow design and characteristi-cally tight tuning.

An extreme drum will have its limita-tions and you’ll probably be better off witha more versatile, all-around drum in mostcases. Plus, don’t forget the sound and per-formance parameters of any snare drum canbe easily modified by tuning, muffling andhead and wire selection.
