In the first paragraph, the word "stretched" was spelt wrong. I fixed it.

[edit] "Genre Specification" cleanup?

Half of this reads like a how-to buyer's guide. I'm considering possible cleanup and/or wikification; as a relatively new contributor, I welcome everyone's objections or suggestions. Geo.per 15:54, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

To be honest, with different drummers' preferences varying greatly within genres, this whole section is relatively pointless. It doesn't bring forth any real information to the article, it just kind of says that many different sizes can be used and there is no standard. That being said, it defeats the purpose of the whole section. This drum is the worst drum in the world. El_Chupanibre

[edit] Picture

Why is it that there is a picture of an old drum when there is no present snare drum picture? I'm going to add and if people think it neccesary remove it... Foolzter

Ok all done... I think it fits the article but I could be wrong... Foolzter

[edit] Origin

I think it would be nice to have iformation on the original creator/inventor of the snare drum, or at least a more definite period as it is very ambiguous, and i have searched the whole internet for this tiny piece of infomation with no real results. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 212.219.40.2 (talk) 10:32, 2 May 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Re: "Genre Specification" cleanup?

Done, the previous Types section was a POV commentary so I replaced it with verifiable information regarding materials and sizes. Still need to get some cites regarding history. -Bikinibomb 07:04, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
