Is a kettledrum bigger than snare drum?

Yes, a kettledrum is bigger than a snare drum. Kettledrums, also known as timpani, are large, bowl-shaped drums with a single head stretched over an open bottom. They are typically played in pairs and come in various sizes, with bigger drums producing lower pitches. Snare drums, on the other hand, are cylindrical drums with two heads: a batter head struck with sticks and a snare head with metal snares stretched across it, producing a distinctive buzzing sound. Snare drums are generally smaller in size compared to kettledrums.
