Readings in Wikipedia topic

I was reading about the differences between a concert snare drum and a marching snare drum. First off I already knew the difference between the two because I've played both before. Well generally marching snares are deeper than concert snares for the tone, and focus much more on power and projection since that's what marching lines mainly need. In contrast, while concert snares also need power, articulation is really important, probably much more important. You'll find that you can bring out the right tone, dynamics, etc. easier on a concert snare than on a marching or on a kit snare. The range is wider and more sensitive. Marching usually have stronger Kevlar to stand up to extremely tight tuning and powerful playing
