About it
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.
