What is a snare drum

Anatomy of the snare drum
The snare drum is composed of several key parts that contribute to its unique sound:
- Shell: Forms the body of the drum and is typically made from wood, metal, or acrylic.
- Drumheads: Stretched over the top and bottom of the shell, these heads are crucial for sound production.
- Snares: Metal wires or strands of synthetic material stretched across the bottom head, providing the characteristic snap when struck.
- Tension rods and lugs: Used to adjust the drumhead tension, allowing for precise control over the drum's tone and responsiveness.
- Hoops: Hold the drumheads in place and impact the drum’s sound.
- Strainer: A mechanism that engages or disengages the snares, offering different tonal options.
These components work together to produce the snare drum's distinctive, sharp sound.
