The snare drum or side drum is a drum with strands of snares made of curled
metal wire, metal cable, plastic cable, or gut cords stretched
across the bottom drumhead. Pipe and tabor and some military snare drums
often have a second set of snares on the bottom (internal) side of the top
(batter) head to make a 'tighter' sound. The snare drum is considered one
of the most important(if not the most important) drums of the drum kit.
