This sound is made stronger or resonated
by the two parts of the drum. Drums are divided into two classes, those which have a definite pitch and those which do not. For example, the snare drum has strings or snares as they are called across its underside. These strings vibrate against the drum head giving the snare drum its special penetrating sound. The bass drum is much larger than the snare drum and it has no strings. Both of these drums have metal rods that can be adjusted to change the amount of vibration. Konga drums are the simplest of drums. The vibrations produce in the variation of sound of these drums is controlled by the skillful use of the hands and fingers.
