Bass drums are sometimes played with two sticks or with timpani mallets for special effects.Д«ass drums used for marching are usually smaller in size. Sometimes, the player will place a hand on the drum head to dampen the sound.

One stick (sometimes double-ended) is generally used. The bass drum is usually played with a wooden stick whose playing end is covered in felt, wool, or other soft material. It is generally played in an upright position, although many ensembles have drums mounted on special frames that allow the instrument to be rotated to a horizontal position. The orchestral BASS DRUM is a large drum with two heads. Common special effects played by the snare drum include playing with the snares off and the rim shot, where the rim of the cylinder is struck rather than the head. Brushes are also commonly used for a softer effect. The snare drum is most often played with wooden drum sticks. Usually, a lever on the side of the drum is provided to loosen the snares, eliminating the rattle. Wires, called snares, are stretched across the lower head, producing a distinctive rattling sound when the drum is struck. Only the upper head is struck when the drum is played. The drum is played in a horizontal position, supported by a stand in a concert formation or hanging at the playerвЂ™s side in a marching formation (this is the genesis of the term вЂњside drumвЂќ). The typical snare drum is relatively small, with a shallow body and two heads. The SNARE DRUM, sometimes referred to as the side drum, is descended from military marching drums.
