SNARE DRUM

Materials

Beginning snare drum students should have the following:

• sticks - any large body, big bead (tip) stick is fine.  I particularly like the "Graham C. Johns" model from Cooperman.
• snare drum - if you need help acquiring a drum, please let me know.
• practice pad - HQ Percussion "Real Feel" 12-inch model or Remo 10" model would be appropriate.
• stick bag - any model/style
