* A cylindrical wooden shell: The shell is usually made of maple, but other woods such as birch, oak, and cherry can also be used.
* A metal hoop at each end: The hoops are usually made of steel or aluminum, and they help to hold the drum head in place.
* A drumhead: The drumhead is made of a thin sheet of plastic or animal skin, and it is stretched over the hoops at each end of the drum.
* Snares: Snares are thin metal wires that are stretched across the bottom head of the drum. They vibrate when the drum is struck, and they create the characteristic snare drum sound.
* A strainer: The strainer is a mechanism that allows the player to adjust the tension of the snares.
* A butt plate: The butt plate is a metal plate that is attached to the bottom of the drum. It helps to protect the drum from damage.
* A throw-off lever: The throw-off lever is a mechanism that allows the player to quickly disengage the snares, so that the drum can be played without the snare sound.
