Drum Snare Beds - Precision Drum Company, Inc.

Snare Beds

A snare bed is a shallow, gradual relief cut in the bottom bearing edge of a snare drum, at the area where the snare wire straps cross the bearing edge to meet the throwoff and butt end. When tightened, the drum head will follow the snare bed contour, allowing the snare wires to make contact with the head in the center of the shell diameter.
The picture below shows a snare bed on the bottom edge of the drum.

Snare beds can be cut on most wood drum shells for $30 per drum

It is recommended to have snare beds re-cut if the bearing edges are being re-cut on a snare drum.
