Description

This cylindrical drum has two heads, one with a snare. When the drum head is struck with the drum sticks, the snare adds a vibration, or rattle, to the drum's din. The Medieval style drums are made with two, rope tuned, skin heads that are rolled and stitched with the snare on the top head. This style of drum is a traditional military drum with a long history. Such snare drums were used in military bands until the 19th century, when it became an orchestral instrument. Originally such drums were fashioned from solid timber making them quite heavy. These modern replicas are fashioned from attractive half-inch laminates for strength and light-weight. Each drum comes with a pair of drum sticks. There is a brass hook to help suspend the drum from your belt or strap while playing.
