Snare drum technique

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Snare technique is the technique used to play a snare drum.

[edit] Grips

There are two categories of grips used in snare technique: matched grip, in which both hands hold the sticks in an overhand grip, and traditional grip, in which one hand uses an overhand grip and the other an underhand grip. Traditional grip is almost exclusively used on snare drum, and concert bass drum, while matched grip is used on all percussion instruments.
