It is often used in orchestras, marching bands, concert bands, drum corps and many other applications. It is the center of the drum kit, the most prominent drum in most marching and stage bands, and the instrument that students of both orchestral and kit drumming learn to play first. Simple rhythms are on the snare drum as easy to learn like on Orff instruments, so that the snare drum is also a very suitable instrument for smaller children. But also older children, teenagers and adults can quickly achieve good results without lengthy lessons with a bit practice. Sophisticated playing of course requires an appropriate training like any other instrument.
