Snare drums

The snare drum or, as it is also called the workingdrum , is a percussion instrument and a practical integral part of any drum kit. Such an instrument is played with wooden drumsticks or, less often, brushes. Despite the fact that it is impossible to imagine a drum kit, and any of the currently popular styles of music - rock, jazz, metal, blues, etc., without a worker, since it is with the help of him that the drummer keeps the whole team in rhythm, this tool began to be actively used as early as the 18th century.

Some of the first classical composers to include a snare drum in the score of their works were: Maren Mare, Handel, Gluck and Beethoven. And such a famous reformer as Hector Berlioz could not imagine his music without this instrument at all, and once even said: “Several snare drums sound much better and more interesting than one”. This his statement was later reflected in the work "Funeral March" in the finale of Hamlet. It was there that six snare drums sounded simultaneously. So what exactly is this percussion instrument? First of all, it is a metal or plastic cylinder, covered with leather on both sides. True, in our time, instead of metal and plastic, wood is used, and it is not leather that is pulled, but polymer compounds. There is a spring on the underside. The sound of the drum depends on its tension. That is, it can sound high or low. If a worker is part of a drum kit, then he must stand on a stand, the height of which is regulated by the drummer himself, however, like the spring tension. The hardware attached to the tool body is also very important. Many underestimate its importance, believing that the true sound depends only on the quality of the stretched head and the wood from which the snare is made. This statement is only partially true, since high-quality fittings are able to ensure a durable drum life and a good membrane tension.
