Percussion Clinic Adelaide - Instrument Info - Drum Kit |
 | | The "kick" or bass drum, and the snare drum are obvious examples of percussion instruments which also exist in a marching band line up, and toms are not too distantly related to "tim-toms", "quads" or the tenor drums. |
 | | The snare drum is probably the most important part of a drum kit, and is often nicknamed "the steering wheel", partly because of its size, shape and position, but also because of its importance as the primary control of the drum kit. |
 | | There are many different types of snare drum, which are used in different circumstances, but a drum kit snare such as the one pictured here, is typically 14 inches in diameter and around 6 to 8 inches deep, with a medium to heavy batter (top) head tuned fairly tightly. |
