ABSTRACT:
A drum snare control mechanism comprises a frame on which a snare is supported and one or more pairs of snare-engaging members are supported on stems slidable within the frame and movable by cams to bring the pairs of snare-engaging members selectively into and out of contact with a length of the snare, or different lengths of the snare, to vary the tone. The mechanism frame serves to isolate the drum frame from the tension within the snares.
