Why do drummers put their wallet on the snare?

The Drum Wallet flips on and off your drums to instantly add control and fatten up the sound. These are great for both snare drums and toms. The Drum Wallet is quick and easy to use, and has the perfect amount of weight to add warmth, fatness, and remove overtones, without choking the drum.

Where is the general playing area on a snare drum head?

The resonant snare drumhead, also known as the snare side drumhead, is the bottom head on your snare drum. It's the drumhead that you don't hit. In fact, make sure you take care not to hit (or damage) this drumhead. Resonant snare drumheads are very thin: usually 1/2 to 1/8 the thickness of a batter (top) drumhead.
