Tapered snare drum

摘要

A snare drum having an improved resonant, sensitive and harmonic sound. The snare drum comprises a head end, a snare end is substantially circular at its head end while being increasingly larger in transverse cross-sectional shape proceeding from the head end towards the snare end. An indentation adjacent the head end allows a drum skin to be positioned within a hoop and tightened to secure the skin and hoop without binding.
