SkyDog Registered: 12/29/05	I play & teach snare so that some of my students can learn how to provide accompaniment for the tenor line. Seriously, though, I do enjoy playing snare even though I'd consider myself primarily a tenor player. But I have fun playing any drum in the line.

Robotman8591 Registered: 01/10/08 Loc: Melbourne, Florida	I play snare because im hardcore. sure tenor players cary heavier drums and play on more, but I like the ability to play on one surface and really get into the rudiments and tricks. you have more ability to add body movement with snare and it's usually the center instrument. You have to play cleaner than the other drumline members cause the head is a lot tighter and therefore your note length shorter. I like a challenge and when you can get a 7+ person snare line amazingly clean. It sounds amazing... _________________________ You may think that people choose to become drummers. They don’t. You may think drumming is a musical preference. It isn’t. Drumming chooses its victims. There is growing evidence that drumming may be genetic in origin, like some illnesses, though it’s certainly unfair to compare drumming to something like schizophrenia. Schizophrenics don’t have to tap on everything.

flamjedi Registered: 02/24/08 Loc: Austin,TX	That's a good question. I don't know why I originally started playing snare, it just 'reached out to me' so to speak. I've played bass and a minimal amount of tenor, but the sound and feel of the snare is still my fav to play.

dDrRaGeX Registered: 04/22/07 Loc: Glendale, CA	The sound is just so bad butt in my opinion. Tenors are definitely more fun. I don't play tenors but yeah. Another down side though, learning tenor music would take me FOREVER. Plus, carrying 45 pounds for hours would kill me. Also, I guess there's en egotistical side to me that's wants to be in the center of the drumline. And snares have the ability to do tricks and visuals, and I don't think thats vital, but its definitely fun. _________________________ Notre Dame High School Junior 06-07- Cymbals Senior 07-08- Snare www.myspace.com/dDrRaGeX

ChopsGalore Registered: 02/07/07	let's face it, everyone waits for the snare feature. there's something about seeing 8 people playing exactly the same thing in unison that is amazing. i love the crisp intensity of a clean snareline, and on the other side of that perspective it also makes my blood itch when i hear a dirty snareline

drumicide Registered: 02/26/08 Loc: CentralTX	I think snare is the most streamlined way to get from you to the rhythm. Snares have a basic alphabet of rudimentals, and the amazing this is building a whole brilliant piece of music out of it. There's no split part or six differently tuned drums, it's you, a drum, and two sticks. And the purity of that is something that I think is awesome and inspiring and that's why snares are the best instrument in the band.

cvilletenor Registered: 11/14/07 Loc: GA	I play it because we need a real leader and better snare next year =P Played tenors last, and they're more fun to play in the stands and things, but i still love just being able to chop it out on snare, and count offs, etc. =] Really, tenor music is easier for me to get down quickly, because it seems to go with the music more, i.e. they have different notes. And tbh, I can get in time perfectly with the other snare, and not as well with the other tenor. Edited by cvilletenor (03/24/08 08:24 PM)

You see commercials for the big college games. what's usually being played in the background? The drumline.. Then sometimes they will maybe show a couple shots in, who do they show? The snares!!! Or for like trailers for some drum DVD, they always show the snare line most of the time. Snares are always the center of attention. Everything about them is AMAZING!

dDrRaGeX Registered: 04/22/07 Loc: Glendale, CA	^Thats an interesting take. I think what you can say can be applied to all instruments though There is nothing better than performing with other good musicians, especially when drummers suck at your high school (which is my case scenario). Thats why i love being in a drum corps, or even just auditioning for one. vibe is so much different when everyone is just straight up good.

drumentat Registered: 11/15/07	I'd have to say the visual aspect. With bass drums, you can do tricks, but its mostly just the drop-n-grab since there's a drum in front of you, but then again, you get to split. With snare drumming, there's a clean surface in front of you where you can do any trick layout on the "one" drum you have. You have full accessibility to your right and left, behind and in front. With tenors, you have to hit 6 drums specifically, and putting tricks into that takes time. Plus snare is simpler for freestylin'. Just what I think. P.S. Clean always = Good

MTSfloater blank Registered: 09/30/07	I wanted to play snare in the beginning because they seem to capture your attention. Not just because there tends to be more of them and the voicing is higher, but because of an attitude that seems to be carried by them. Now, I play because I love traditional grip. Tenors are a lot of fun, and almost nothing beats a bassline that's in the pocket. But the feel of playing snare and the ease of the left hand that comes along with traditional just creates a completely different experience (though I'm sure the same can be argued about every instrument). _________________________ You're Fine...aka...I Don't Care

Drummer343 blank Registered: 03/24/07 Loc: Good Ole Utah	WOW! awesome question. Why do i play snare?... I started on tenors and liked it a lot, played bass and hated it (only cause we sucked) then came snare... I put it on and realized that's what i wanted to do. i love rudiments. I love perfection. i love the fact that in order for me to be successful i have to play perfect as it relates to those around me. Don't get me wrong... tenor and bass players have to play clean to but it's diifrent on a snare. I guess to simplify all this hooplah...

DigitalDrummer Registered: 10/03/06 Loc: TX	Snare requires a greater degree of perfection than tenors because 1. The sound of the snare drum is more articulate, and thus easier to become dirty while the tenor line can get away with a little more. 2. Twice as many people to match as a tenor line. Tenors make up for it though with the complexity of more drums. Scorpio's got it right (see 3 above, too lazy to use quote feature :D) _________________________ Alamo Heights H.S.

It's always a shame when people are held back because of a lack of bass drummers. That almost happened to me my sophomore year but I pulled through. I'd recommend getting another snare book, I like jeff queen's "the next level" _________________________ Alamo Heights H.S.

I play snare cause the section leader of our drumline is always center snare and I've always wanted to be that guy. And cause they needed me on snare and not on tenors (i tried both) because the guy who got tenors wasnt as rudimentally solid as I was. Plus...the snare is really loud. And i like to be HEARD! _________________________ Mr.T 06'-07' Cymbals (only year our cymbals have one any awards) 07'-08' Snare 08'-09' Snare (Section Leader)

Also because i rather play some cool licks rather than syncapated rythems on a bass. I mean, if i could i would play tenors, but i cant handle most of the music. _________________________ Derry Area High School Freshman 2008: Snare www.myspace.com/mark5066
