This is the part three of our new series Band Tips<\/a> for Marching Bands released every wednesday. It will cover all components and types of marching bands. The next two weeks\u00a0 are about Snare Drums.<\/strong>\n

Want to boost your snare drum technique? Whether you want to improve your sound on your snare in a marching band, this guide from a drum instructor. covers everything you need to know about how to play snare drum\u2026\u00a0\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n

The snare drum is the signature voice of your kit. It\u2019s an expressive solo instrument and an integral part of a\u00a0marching band. Snare drum technique varies based on the type of music you play, but some techniques apply across the board. In addition to the exercises below, I recommend delving into a bit of\u00a0solo literature, both rudimental and orchestral, as this will \u00a0help you refine your technique.<\/p>\n

\n

Let\u2019s explore\u00a0different types\u00a0of snare drums and the techniques you can use to get the best sound from your snare.<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong>\u00a0snare drum notes\u00a0are usually written on the second space from the top of the staff (or, less commonly on the middle line). Sometimes, a snare part may be written on a single line.<\/p>\n

\n

How to Play Snare Drum for Beginners<\/h2>\n

\"how<\/a><\/p>\n

As a beginner, you should focus on\u00a0accuracy and evenness of notes, as well as tempo and dynamic control. Get used to playing with a metronome right away; you will use\u00a0this tool for the life of your playing. (There are many free\u00a0metronome apps, so there\u2019s no excuse not to have one).<\/p>\n

Here are some exercises to get you going in the right direction.<\/p>\n

Note:\u00a0<\/strong>play these exercises with a right-hand lead.<\/p>\n

\"how<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

How to Play\u00a0Marching Snare Drum<\/h2>\n

\"how<\/a><\/p>\n

To prepare to play marching snare drum, do your research on\u00a0websites<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0forums<\/a>, and find videos of\u00a0marching band performances<\/a>\u00a0that will inspire you to get in the shed.<\/p>\n

If you want to play snare in a marching band, you have to acquire precision and the ability to listen closely and sync with the drummers around you.<\/p>\n

You will also likely be required to work on the\u00a0visual components of a performance<\/a>\u00a0(in addition to matching stick heights with your section), so you need to have your\u00a0timing\u00a0<\/a>down.<\/p>\n

Know your\u00a0rudiments\u00a0inside and out; they\u2019re your bread and butter\u00a0when it comes to playing snare in a marching band.<\/p>\n

Make sure to practice these exercises which will help you master\u00a0snare drum basics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

How to\u00a0Play Snare Drum With Traditional Grip<\/h2>\n

\"how<\/a><\/p>\n

Traditional grip was initially used to allow a snare drummer\u2019s left hand to comfortably clear the rim of a side-slung drum. This grip is still commonly used in marching drum lines and in jazz settings.<\/p>\n

Turn your left\u00a0hand to the side, as if you\u2019re reaching out to shake someone\u2019s hand. Place the stick in the opening between your\u00a0thumb and index finger (which will be your fulcrum), and rest the\u00a0front end on\u00a0the cuticle of\u00a0your\u00a0ring finger.<\/p>\n

Your fingers will provide support and control, and your wrist will\u00a0turn in a rotary motion to initiate the stroke. Your right hand will use\u00a0the matched grip position.<\/p>\n

\n

How to Play Rudiments<\/h2>\n

The rudiments are kind of like a drummer\u2019s vocabulary. They\u2019re used extensively in marching literature and rudimental solos\/etudes. They may be used in drum set playing as well, to create some compelling and challenging grooves and\u00a0fills.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Percussive Arts Society<\/a>\u00a0recognizes\u00a040 rudiments<\/a>, although there are many more, including hybrids.<\/p>\n

No matter what type of music you want to play, it\u2019s important that you learn drum rudiments, and practice them consistently.<\/p>\n

\n

How to Play Snare Drum Rolls<\/h2>\n

Pretty much any snare drum roll can be applied to the whole kit, however, the buzz\/press roll is most characteristic to the snare. This roll requires some patience to master, as you have to work to make it sound smooth and seamless.<\/p>\n

This video demonstrates the multiple bounce\/buzz roll as well as six other essential drum rudiments.<\/p>\n

For these roll skeletons, strive for even stick heights, unless you\u2019re using\u00a0accents<\/a>\u00a0or flams. Here again, you will refer to the rudiments; they\u2019re the foundation of all drum rolls.<\/p>\n

\"roll<\/a><\/p>\n

\"how<\/a><\/p>\n

\"how<\/a><\/p>\n

This roll skeleton chart will help you interpret multiple bounce rolls. The rolls termed, \u201cwritten\u201d represent the norm for notation that you will encounter in literature. Those termed, \u201cplayed\u201d demonstrate the number of strokes needed to execute the fills\u2014and those numbers vary according to tempo.<\/p>\n

Experiment with the surface of the drum. You will have more \u201cdeadness\u201d toward the center of the drum, but you will\u00a0get plenty of volume. You can play close to the rim for quieter passages (and play over the snares to best activate them).<\/p>\n

\n

How to Play Snare Drum Fast<\/h2>\n

\"how<\/a><\/p>\n

Most new drummers want to be able to\u00a0play fast\u00a0right away, but this requires a lot of work. Fast playing is the result of plenty of repetition. It\u2019s important to strive for accuracy first, so make sure you practice with your metronome!<\/p>\n

Try these\u00a0drum exercises<\/a>\u00a0to improve your speed and control.<\/p>\n

Remember, when it comes to drums: accuracy + repetition + gradual increase in tempo = precision and speed.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the process and be consistent and diligent; you will reap the rewards of articulate, nuanced, and powerful technique.<\/p>\n

Whether you want to learn how to play snare drum to join a marching band or you just want to improve your skills on your kit, we hope these tips and exercises will help.<\/p>\n
