Editing Snare drum (section)

==Types==
There are many types of snare drums, for example:

*'''Marching snare''' ("regular" and "high tension") 
[[Marching percussion|Marching snares]] are typically {{cvt|12|in|cm|0}} deep and {{cvt|14|in|cm|0}} wide. The larger design allows for a deeper-sounding tone, one that is effective for marching bands.<ref name="Snare Drum (musical Instrument).">{{Cite web|url=https://www.britannica.com/art/snare-drum|title=Snare drum &#124; musical instrument|website=Encyclopædia Britannica|access-date=19 April 2021}}</ref> Many marching snares are built to withstand high amounts of tension, tightened by a [[drum key]]. They are often played with a heavier and thicker stick, more commonly referred to as "marching sticks". Snares are often nylon or gut.

*'''Pipe band snare'''
Similar to a marching snare, [[pipe band]] snares are deep and tuned quite tightly. The major difference is that they feature a second set of snare wires beneath the batter head, along with the normal set on the resonant head.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.rhythm-monster.com/blog/scottish-pipe-band-drumming|title=What is Scottish Pipe Band Drumming?|website=Rhythm-monster.com|access-date=19 April 2021}}</ref> This gives them an even more crisp and snappy sound. 
Snare drummers form an integral part of pipe bands, accompanying the bagpipes, and playing music written to fit the pipe tunes. A bass drummer and several tenor drummers, who also perform visual representations of the music, known as flourishing, add to the percussion section of a pipe band. The music played by pipe band snare drummers can be technically difficult, and requires a high degree of rudimental ability, similar to that of marching bands. Pipe Band snare normally use the [[Grip (percussion)|traditional grip]].
*'''Drum kit snare'''
[[Drum kit]] snares are usually about a third to half the depth of a marching snare. They are typically {{cvt|14|in|cm|0}} in diameter and {{cvt|5|,|5+1/2|,|6|,|6+1/2|or|7|in|cm|0}}, with {{cvt|8|in|cm|0}} depths also available.<ref name="Snare Drum (musical Instrument)."/> Typically uses coiled metal snare wires.
*'''Piccolo snare'''
The piccolo snare is a type of snare used by drummers seeking a higher-pitched sound from their snare. Because the piccolo snare has a narrower depth than that of the marching snare or set snare, a higher-pitched "pop" is more widely associated with it. Although the piccolo snare has a more distinctive, unique sound, it has some downsides. Because of the "sharper" sound of the piccolo, its sound travels further and is picked up by microphones further away during recording, making it difficult to record effectively.<ref name="test">{{Cite web|url=http://www.infobloom.com/what-is-a-piccolo-snare-drum.htm|title=What Is a Piccolo Snare Drum? (with picture)|website=Info Bloom|access-date=19 April 2021}}</ref> There are many kinds of piccolo snare which can be piccolos, including the popcorn, soprano and standard snares. Popcorn snares typically have a diameter of {{cvt|10|in|cm|0}}, sopranos {{cvt|12|–|13|in|cm|0}}, and standard piccolos {{cvt|14|in|cm|0}}.<ref name="test"/> A well-known user of the piccolo snare was [[Neil Peart]], the drummer of [[Rush (band)|Rush]], who used a {{cvt|13|in|cm|0}} X Shell Series Piccolo.
*'''Orchestral snare'''
Orchestral snare drums usually conform to the dimensions of drum kit snares, but often have a calf skin head or a synthetic approximation of a natural head material. They also typically use snares made of metal cable, gut, synthetic cord, or nylon,<ref name="Snare Drum (musical Instrument)."/> with some orchestral snare strainers supporting 3 different materials simultaneously and the ability to tune each bundle of snare material independently.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pas.org/docs/default-source/thesisdissertations/Gauthreaux.pdf|title=ORCHESTRAL SNARE DRUM PERFORMANCE : AN HISTORICAL STUDY|website=Pas.org|access-date=19 April 2021}}</ref>
*'''Tabor'''
The [[Tabor (instrument)|tabor]] snare dates back to around the 14th century, and was used for marching beats in wars. It is a double-headed drum with a single snare strand, and was often played along with the three-holed pipe flute. The dimensions vary with the different types of tabor. It is typically {{cvt|4+1/2|in|cm|0}} wide and around {{cvt|11|–|13|in|cm|0}} in diameter.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://drummuffler.com/history-of-the-snare-drum.php |title=History of the Snare Drum |access-date=31 January 2015 |archive-date=31 January 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150131052137/http://drummuffler.com/history-of-the-snare-drum.php |url-status=dead }}</ref>
*'''Tarol'''
The tarol snare has similar dimensions to the kit snare. The major distinction is that the snares in this type are on the top head rather than the bottom one.
*'''Caixa malacacheta'''
"Caixa" meaning "box". This is a simple {{cvt|12|or|14|in|cm|0}} diameter, {{cvt|8|in|cm|0}} deep snare typical of Samba played in Southern Brasil. Made from aluminum or steel with the snare wires on top, it can be played from a sling or "em cima" – on the shoulder to project the sound.
