Types of Marching Drums Available on Reverb

• Marching Snare Drums: Marching snares are generally deeper than a regular or concert snare and are made with an eye toward power and projection. Concert and kit snares, meanwhile, focus more on things like articulation and dynamics.

• Marching Bass Drums: Marching bass drums and the kick drums you'd find included in your standard drum set are practically indistinguishable when it comes to sound. In many cases, the only real difference between them is the hardware: Marching bass drums, played with a handheld mallet, are outfitted with hardware for attaching a harness while bass drums, played with a mallet attached to a kick pedal, are outfitted with hardware for legs to keep the drum from sliding around.

• Marching Toms and Tenors: Drum corps use what are referred to as multi-tenors—a setup of multiple tom-tom drums carried with a harness and played by a single drummer. Like concert toms, these marching toms are single-headed, and they're also shaped and beveled at an angle to increase sound projection and bring power forward.

• Marching Cymbals: Marching band cymbals are strong, thin, and durable. They always come in pairs and feature a hole in the tip of the bell where the handle is placed for marchers. These cymbals are played by crashing them together.
