A snare drum, also known as a side drum, is a percussion instrument that produces a sharp, resonant sound when struck. Snare drums are typically cylindrical in shape and have a set of metal wires, called snares, stretched across the bottom head. When the drum is struck, the snares vibrate against the head, producing the characteristic snare sound.
Snare drums come in a variety of sizes, but the 5-inch snare is a popular choice for drummers of all levels. Its compact size makes it easy to handle and transport, and its sound is well-suited for a wide range of musical genres, from rock and pop to jazz and funk.
