i think it manipulates the vibration of the shell, as well as hammering does.
im not completely sure, but i think it might help control the tone some.
ever heard a straight shell? they are really kind of noisy.

Good point jazzkat. I have a vintage Slingerland Steel snare from the 70s (Does not have a bead) and a BB brass snare from Pork Pie (Has the bead). The Slingerland can ring into next week if I let it. The BB does not. I know, different metals as well. I would wonder if it is structural as well. My pork pie is 7.5 by 14 and my Slingerland is 6 by 14. The Slingerland weighs about as much as a boat anchor for an Aegis cruiser probably not requiring any reinforcement.

Probably mostly for strength.
