side drum
Snare with wires
A side drum is a small double-headed drum worn at the player's side and struck with drumsticks, producing a sharp, crisp sound.
It features snares—wires stretched across the lower head—that create its distinctive buzzing rattle.
The side drum is standard in military bands and orchestras.
Also called a snare drum.
