ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to the musical drum art, and particularly to the orchestra snare drum and/or marching snare drum. The device compresses the moving air column produced when the batter head is struck, and directs the vibrating column to the proper area for maximum snare effect, livelier feel and sound, with far greater power and projection. This device brings the entire batter head to life, making it playable in all areas of its surface by eliminating the dead spots usually found in the center and around the edge of the head.
