Hello all,

I am on a quest to find a specific kind of sound, and I would love some assistance in this matter. While I am familiar with the term 'snare drum', I believe it's far more general a term than I originally thought, as it seems to apply to drums of all shapes and sizes.

Any ideas? I assume the taller/wider the drum, the deeper the sound?
