Snare builds and types..
Ok, so as far as I know there are the following types of kit snares:
Aluminum
Steel
Nickel
Bronze
Brass
Wood
I don't understand something; when it says metal snare's, does it mean there is no wood in the construction, or that the metal just cover the wood.
Also, what qualities are associated with different types of snares. To my understanding metal snares offer more cut and punch while wood snares sound warmer and fuller...
Maybe the difference between metals isn't huge, but analogously there is a reason why brass instruments are brass, and not bronze or steel.
So what qualities are associated with each type of metal, and what do metal and wood snares bring to the table?
Thanks
