Snare drum (English spelling)

Japanese: snare drum(英語表記)snaredrum
Snare drum (English spelling)

...When only one of the two membranes is struck (e.g., the Japanese kotsuzumi), the membrane that is not struck (the back leather) is made somewhat thinner so that it resonates sensitively with the membrane that is struck (the front leather). In Indian drums and other such drums, the membrane is doubled around the periphery, so that when the membrane vibrates, it comes into contact with the surrounding membranes slightly, creating an effect similar to the "sawari" sound of the Japanese shamisen. Examples of drums with more clearly defined additional sounds include the frame drums of Southwest Asia, which have a resonating string (snare) near the membrane, a metal ring hung inside the frame, or small metal pieces attached to it, as well as the European snare drums and tambourines influenced by these, and drums from various parts of Africa, which have bells hung around the body of the drum or a device that resonates a thin membrane inside the body. (2) Body The function of the body is, first, to maintain tension in the membrane, and secondly, to create a cavity inside that allows sound to resonate and create the characteristic sound of the drum.
