Ludwig Jim Riley Signature Steel Snare Drum 8x14. The Ludwig Jim Riley Signature Snare Drum combines the best elements of his favorite drums in one, reliable workhorse. Noted clinician and Rascal Flatts Drummer Jim Riley has always relied on a variety of Ludwig snares to get the job done. The Riley signature snare boasts a 1.5mm stainless steel shell that produces plenty of projection and snap, while its 8-depth lends the balanced warmth of a wood drum.
The drum kit is usually played seated on a drum stool or throne. The drum kit differs in general from those traditional instruments that produce melody or chords/pitch per se: even though drums are often placed musically alongside others that do, such as the piano or stringed instruments. The snare drum often does not match the kit, for example being a metal or plain wood shell in a kit where the other drums are in a matching finish. 2  Drummers tend to spend more time playing the snare and cymbals than the other drums. 3  Thin and/or bell-metal cymbals are easily broken by poor technique.
