How To Choose New Snare Drums?

A typical snare drum is 14" wide and 5.5" deep, and this size will suit most rock and popular music styles. But there are models as small as 12" wide, and some with different depths such as 4.5", 6.5" or even 8", each giving the drummer a different sound. Drummers often opt for a Piccolo Snare. Known for a sharp snappy attack and taut sound the Piccolo is often used as a secondary snare drum.

Snare Drums are made from a variety of materials including, Brass, Steel, and maple, each offering its own tone, pitch and character, and for this reason choosing the right snare is essential.
