Description
Snare drums descend from a drum used in medieval times called a Tabor. Tabors were drums with a single gut snare strung across the bottom. Around the 15th century the snare drum increased in size and had a cylindrical shape. It became popular with Swiss mercenary troops. The 17h century brought even more changes to the snare drum. Screws were added to hold the snares down which gave it a brighter sound rather than the rattle of a loose snare. Around the 20th century metal snares came about which is what you find being used today and it is a popular instrument in pop music and modern orchestral music.
