ABSTRACT:
A tensioning system for a snare assembly adapted to be attached to a percussion instrument, comprising a main body adapted to be fixedly mounted to the percussion instrument; a snare fastener assembly for fastening snares with respect to the main body; and a pivotable or rotatable tension adjuster mounted with respect to the main body and the snare fastener. Pivoting or rotating the tension adjuster changes a position of said snare fastener to change tension of said snares. A bearing assembly, preferably in the form of roller bearings or low-friction plates, is interposed between the slider/piston member and the main body of the snare tensioning system to reduce play and vibration between the slider/piston member and the main body mounted to the percussion instrument.
