title="Percussion instrument">percussion instrument</a> that produces a sharp <a href="/wiki/Staccato" title="Staccato">staccato</a> sound when the head is struck with a <a href="/wiki/Drum_stick" title="Drum stick">drum stick</a>, due to the use of a series of stiff wires held under tension against the lower skin. Snare drums are often used in <a href="/wiki/Orchestra" title="Orchestra">orchestras</a>, <a href="/wiki/Concert_band" title="Concert band">concert bands</a>, <a href="/wiki/Marching_band" title="Marching band">marching bands</a>, <a href="/wiki/Parade" title="Parade">parades</a>, <a href="/wiki/Drumline" class="mw-redirect" title="Drumline">drumlines</a>, drum corps, and more. It is one of the central pieces in a <a href="/wiki/Drum_set" class="mw-redirect" title="Drum set">drum set</a>, a collection of percussion instruments designed to be played by a seated drummer and used in many genres of music. Because basic rhythms are very easy to learn to play on a snare drum even for children, the instrument is also suitable for the <a href="/wiki/Music_education_for_young_children" title="Music education for young children">music education for young children</a> and a <a href="/wiki/Rhythm_band" title="Rhythm band">rhythm band</a>. </p><p>Snare drums are usually played with <a href="/wiki/Drum_stick" title="Drum stick">drum sticks</a>, but other beaters such as the <a href="/wiki/Brush_(percussion)" class="mw-redirect" title="Brush (percussion)">brush</a> or the <a href="/wiki/Rute_(music)" title="Rute (music)">rute</a> can be used to achieve different tones. The snare drum is a versatile and expressive percussion instrument due to its sensitivity and responsiveness. The sensitivity of the snare drum allows it to respond audibly to the softest strokes, even with a wire brush. It can be used for complex rhythmic patterns and engaging solos at moderate volumes. Its high dynamic range allows the player to produce powerful accents with vigorous strokes and a loud metallic click when <a href="/wiki/Rimshot" title="Rimshot">rimshots</a> are used. In a solo a caixa can express all its potential for improvisation </p><p>The snare drum originates from the <a href="/wiki/Tabor_(instrument)" title="Tabor (instrument)">tabor</a>, a drum first used to accompany the <a href="/wiki/Flute" title="Flute">flute</a>. The tabor evolved into more modern versions, such as the kit snare (the type usually included in a drum kit), marching snare, tarol snare, and piccolo snare.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Each type is a different size, and there are different playing styles associated with each of them. The snare drum that one might see in a popular music concert is usually used in a <a href="/wiki/Backbeat" class="mw-redirect" title="Backbeat">backbeat</a> style. In marching bands, it can do the same but is used mostly for a front beat.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources. (May 2016)">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup> In comparison with the marching snare, the kit snare is generally smaller in length, while the piccolo is the smallest of the three. The snare drum is easily recognizable by its loud cracking sound when struck firmly with a drumstick or mallet. The depth of the sound varies from one drum to another because of the different techniques and construction qualities of the drum. Some of these qualities are head material and tension, dimensions, and rim and drum shell materials and construction. </p><p>The snare drum is constructed of two <a href="/wiki/Drumhead" title="Drumhead">heads</a>—both usually made of Mylar plastic in modern drums but historically made from calf or goat skin—along with a <a href="/wiki/Rattle_(percussion_beater)" title="Rattle (percussion beater)">rattle</a> of beads (metal, plastic, nylon, or gut) called "snares" in close contact with it, on the bottom head, which vibrate when the drum is struck. The snares can also be on the top, as in the tarol snare drum, or on both heads as in the case of the <a href="/wiki/Pipe_Band" class="mw-redirect" title="Pipe Band">Highland</a> snare drum. The top head is typically called the batter head because that is where the drummer strikes it; the bottom head can also be called the snare head (if the snares are located there). The tension of each head is held constant by tension rods. Tension rod adjustment allows the pitch and tonal character of the drum to be customized by the player. Most snare drums have a lever (the strainer) to engage or disengage contact between the snares and the head, and which also permits adjustment of the snare tension. When the snares are disengaged, the sound of the drum resembles a <a href="/wiki/Tom_drum" title="Tom drum">Floor tom</a>. The <a href="/wiki/Drum" title="Drum">rim</a> is the metal or wooden ring around the batter head that holds the head onto the drum and provides tension to the head; the rim can also be used in some playing techniques, notably the <a href="/wiki/Rimshot" title="Rimshot">rimshot</a>, in which the head and rim are struck together with a single stick to create a clicking, or tapping sound. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Playing">Playing</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Snare_drum&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Playing"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Snare_wires.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Snare_wires.jpg/220px-Snare_wires.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="159" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Snare_wires.jpg/330px-Snare_wires.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2f/Snare_wires.jpg/440px-Snare_wires.jpg 2x" data-file-width="514" data-file-height="372" /></a><figcaption>Snare wires</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Snaresondrum.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/be/Snaresondrum.jpg/220px-Snaresondrum.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="168" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/be/Snaresondrum.jpg/330px-Snaresondrum.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/be/Snaresondrum.jpg/440px-Snaresondrum.jpg 2x" data-file-width="512" data-file-height="392" /></a><figcaption>Snares on bottom of a drum</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Snare_drum_strainer.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/40/Snare_drum_strainer.jpg/220px-Snare_drum_strainer.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/40/Snare_drum_strainer.jpg/330px-Snare_drum_strainer.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/40/Snare_drum_strainer.jpg/440px-Snare_drum_strainer.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3200" data-file-height="2400" /></a><figcaption>Snare strainer</figcaption></figure> <p>When the top head is struck, the bottom (resonant) head vibrates in tandem, which in turn stimulates the snares and produces a cracking sound. </p><p>The drum can be played by striking it with a <a href="/wiki/Drum_stick" title="Drum stick">drum stick</a> or any other form of beater, including <a href="/wiki/Brush_(music)" class="mw-redirect" title="Brush (music)">brushes</a>, <a href="/wiki/Rute_(music)" title="Rute (music)">rute</a> and hands, all of which produce a softer-sounding vibration from the <a href="/wiki/Rattle_(percussion_beater)" title="Rattle (percussion beater)">snare wires</a>.

In contemporary and/or pop and rock music, where the snare drum is used as a part of a <a href="/wiki/Drum_kit" title="Drum kit">drum kit</a>, many of the backbeats and accented notes on the snare drum are played as rimshots, due to the ever-increasing demand for their typical sharp and high-volume sound. </p><p>A commonly used alternative way to play the snare drum is known as "cross-stick", "rim click", or "side-stick". This is done by holding the tip of the drumstick against the drum head and striking the stick's other end (the butt) against the rim, using the hand to mute the head.<sup id="cite_ref-Payne-2014_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Payne-2014-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> This produces a dry high-pitched click, similar to a set of <a href="/wiki/Claves" title="Claves">claves</a>, and is especially common in Latin and <a href="/wiki/Jazz" title="Jazz">jazz music</a>. So-called "<a href="/wiki/Ghost_note" title="Ghost note">ghost notes</a>" are very light "filler notes" played in between the backbeats in genres such as <a href="/wiki/Funk" title="Funk">funk</a> and <a href="/wiki/Rhythm_and_blues" title="Rhythm and blues">rhythm and blues</a>. The iconic <a href="/wiki/Drum_roll" title="Drum roll">drum roll</a> is produced by alternately bouncing the sticks on the <a href="/wiki/Drumhead" title="Drumhead">drum head</a>, striving for a controlled rebound. A similar effect can be achieved by playing alternating double <a href="/wiki/Drum_stroke" title="Drum stroke">strokes</a> on the drum, creating a <a href="/wiki/Double_stroke_roll" class="mw-redirect" title="Double stroke roll">double stroke roll</a>, or very fast single strokes, creating a <a href="/wiki/Single_stroke_roll" class="mw-redirect" title="Single stroke roll">single stroke roll</a>.

Soprano, popcorn, and firecracker snare drums have diameters as small as 8 in (20 cm) and are often used for higher-pitched special effects.<sup id="cite_ref-Pearl_Drums_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Pearl_Drums-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Most wooden snare drum shells are constructed in plies (layers) that are <a href="/wiki/Molding_(process)" title="Molding (process)">heat-</a> and <a href="/wiki/Compression_molding" title="Compression molding">compression-moulded</a> into a cylinder. Steam-bent shells consist of one ply of wood that is gradually rounded into a cylinder and glued at one seam. Reinforcement rings, so-called "re-rings", are often incorporated on the inside surface of the drum shell to keep it perfectly round. Segment shells are made of multiple stacks of segmented wood rings. The segments are glued together and rounded out by a lathe. Similarly, stave shells are constructed of vertically glued pieces of wood into a cylinder (much like a barrel) that is also rounded out by a lathe. Solid shells are constructed of one solid piece of hollowed wood. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Drum" title="Drum">heads</a> or <a href="/wiki/Drumhead" title="Drumhead">skins</a> used are a batter head (the playing surface on the top of the drum) and a resonant (bottom) head. The resonant head is usually much thinner than the batter head and is not beaten while playing. Rather than <a href="/wiki/Calfskin" title="Calfskin">calfskin</a>, most modern drums use plastic (<a href="/wiki/Mylar" class="mw-redirect" title="Mylar">Mylar</a>) skins of around 10 <a href="/wiki/Thousandth_of_an_inch" title="Thousandth of an inch">mils</a> thickness, sometimes with multiple plies (usually two) of around 7 mils for the batter head. In addition, tone control rings or dots can be applied, either on the outer or inner surface of the head, to control overtones and ringing, and can be found positioned in the centre or close to the edge hoops or both. Resonant heads are usually only a few mils thick, to enable them to respond to the movement of the batter head as it is played. Pipe band requirements have led to the development of a <a href="/wiki/Kevlar" title="Kevlar">Kevlar</a>-based head, enabling very high tuning, thus producing a very high-pitched cracking snare sound. </p><p>A new technique used to improve the sound quality during snare drum construction is symmetrical venting. In contrast to a standard single vent hole, air can easily travel through and around the instrument without getting caught. This rapid movement creates a smoother, stronger sound. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Snare_drum&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The snare drum seems to have descended from a medieval drum called the <a href="/wiki/Tabor_(instrument)" title="Tabor (instrument)">tabor</a>, which was a drum with a single-gut snare strung across the bottom.

By the 15th century, the size of the snare drum had increased and had a cylindrical shape. This simple drum with a simple snare became popular with the <a href="/wiki/Swiss_mercenaries" title="Swiss mercenaries">Swiss mercenary</a> troops who used the <a href="/wiki/Fife_(instrument)" title="Fife (instrument)">fife</a> and drum from the <a href="/wiki/15th_century" title="15th century">15th</a> to <a href="/wiki/16th_century" title="16th century">16th</a> centuries. The drum was made deeper and carried along the side of the body. Further developments appeared in the 17th century, with the use of screws to hold down the snares, giving a brighter sound than the rattle of a loose snare. During the 18th century, the snare drum underwent changes which improved its characteristic sound. Metal snares appeared in the 20th century. Today the snare drum is used in jazz, pop music and modern orchestral music.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1235681985">.mw-parser-output .side-box{margin:4px 0;box-sizing:border-box;border:1px solid #aaa;font-size:88%;line-height:1.25em;background-color:var(--background-color-interactive-subtle,#f8f9fa);display:flow-root}.mw-parser-output .side-box-abovebelow,.mw-parser-output .side-box-text{padding:0.25em 0.9em}.mw-parser-output .side-box-image{padding:2px 0 2px 0.9em;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .side-box-imageright{padding:2px 0.9em 2px 0;text-align:center}@media(min-width:500px){.mw-parser-output .side-box-flex{display:flex;align-items:center}.mw-parser-output .side-box-text{flex:1;min-width:0}}@media(min-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .side-box{width:238px}.mw-parser-output .side-box-right{clear:right;float:right;margin-left:1em}.mw-parser-output .side-box-left{margin-right:1em}}</style><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1096940132">.mw-parser-output .listen .side-box-text{line-height:1.1em}.mw-parser-output .listen-plain{border:none;background:transparent}.mw-parser-output .listen-embedded{width:100%;margin:0;border-width:1px 0 0 0;background:transparent}.mw-parser-output .listen-header{padding:2px}.mw-parser-output .listen-embedded .listen-header{padding:2px 0}.mw-parser-output .listen-file-header{padding:4px 0}.mw-parser-output .listen .description{padding-top:2px}.mw-parser-output .listen .mw-tmh-player{max-width:100%}@media(max-width:719px){.mw-parser-output .listen{clear:both}}@media(min-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .listen:not(.listen-noimage){width:320px}.mw-parser-output .listen-left{overflow:visible;float:left}.mw-parser-output .listen-center{float:none;margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto}}</style><div class="side-box side-box-left listen noprint listen-left"><style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1126788409">.mw-parser-output .plainlist ol,.mw-parser-output .plainlist ul{line-height:inherit;list-style:none;margin:0;padding:0}.mw-parser-output .plainlist ol li,.mw-parser-output .plainlist ul li{margin-bottom:0}</style> <div class="side-box-flex"> <div class="side-box-image"><figure class="mw-halign-center" typeof="mw:File"><span><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/Gnome-mime-sound-openclipart.svg/50px-Gnome-mime-sound-openclipart.svg.png" decoding="async" width="50" height="50" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/Gnome-mime-sound-openclipart.svg/75px-Gnome-mime-sound-openclipart.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/87/Gnome-mime-sound-openclipart.svg/100px-Gnome-mime-sound-openclipart.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="160" data-file-height="160" /></span><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div> <div class="side-box-text plainlist"><div class="haudio"> <div class="listen-file-header"><a href="/wiki/File:Drum_-_Cadence_A.ogg" title="File:Drum - Cadence A.ogg">Drum – Cadence A</a></div> <div><span typeof="mw:File"><span><audio id="mwe_player_0" controls="" preload="none" data-mw-tmh="" class="mw-file-element" width="232" style="width:232px;" data-durationhint="93" data-mwtitle="Drum_-_Cadence_A.ogg" data-mwprovider="wikimediacommons"><source src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/e1/Drum_-_Cadence_A.ogg" type="audio/ogg;

In his book, <i>The Art of Snare Drumming</i>, <a href="/wiki/Sanford_A._Moeller" title="Sanford A. Moeller">Sanford A. Moeller</a> (of the "Moeller Method" of drumming) states, "To acquire a knowledge of the true nature of the [snare] drum, it is absolutely necessary to study military drumming, for it is essentially a military instrument and its true character cannot be brought out with an incorrect method. When a composer wants a martial effect, he instinctively turns to the drums." </p><p>Before the advent of radio and electronic communications, the snare drum was often used to communicate orders to soldiers. American troops were woken up by drum and fife playing about five minutes of music, for example, the well-known <i>Three Camps</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Troops were called for meals by certain drum pieces, such as "Peas on a Trencher" or "Roast Beef".
