how do you replace the top snare in a dynasty marching snare drum?

Question

the inner snare on my dynasty broke. i know how to get to it i just cant seem to find the screws to release it.

Answer 1

4 small screws on mine, they are located behind the shiny metal rod. I am not sure if we have the same model, but they should not be that different. If u don't have the screws, then it could simply be glued.

Answer 2

The drums need to sound different because they are used differently. A marching snare has a harder top (usually kevlar) and a bigger resonating chamber. This significantly increases the drum's volume and ability to articulate fast rhythms. Playing this snare in a concert band would drown out most of the other instruments, so the concert snare is lighter, smaller, and softer. The sticks make a difference, too. Marching sticks are thicker and heavier to add to the volume needed outside. Concert sticks are thinner and have a smaller tip so the attack is not too loud. If I were you, I would buy a concert snare. It can be used for concert band, jazz band, orchestra, even rock or pop. Plus, most marching groups supply percussion equipment to their members, so you won't need one if you decide to do a corps or something. Hope that helps! p.s. make sure you have a practice pad so the neighbors don't complain.
