Snare drums come in a variety of materials, diameters, and depths. Each drum can be matched to a song or style of music, so it’s not uncommon for drummers to use more than one snare drum.
These are some of the drums I own and have used for many years with much enjoyment.
Ludwig Supraphonic
Supraphonic SD – 6.5×14″ or 5×14″
Yamaha Aluminum
Rec Cust SD – 14×6.5 – Alum
Brass Piccolo Snare
Pearl Utility Snare
The Pearl Utility snare is a reliable workhorse that sounds good for low price.
