And more often than not, it seems that many drummers don't realize how important quality engineering and construction are to the actual sound of a snare drum.

When a snare drum is struck, its shape, density and material characteristics what is responsible for its tonal properties. The drum also needs to be able to "breathe", or resonate fully. With poorly designed hardware, the sound of a snare drum will suffer.
