Snare Drum

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 380.1 Hz, 53 cents flat of G4, the nearest tine on the comb. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

Tap it for a drum roll; tap again quickly for a faster, longer roll.

A snare drum is a shallow drum with a skin, called a head, stretched across each side. Under the bottom head runs a set of thin metal wires, the snares, which rattle against it every time the top is hit, giving the drum its crisp, buzzing crack. A drum roll is many fast strokes, played one stick after the other so quickly that they blur into one sound.

Tap it and the sticks play a roll. Tap again quickly, and each tap steps the roll up to a faster speed and makes it last longer, through four speeds in all. Pick the color of the shell in the Splash tab. With ✋ Hands-on on, pick up a stick and hit the drum: the head cracks and ripples, the rim clicks and the shell knocks; reset puts the sticks back.
