Snare Drumsticks are just one Example of Drumsticks used a Tenor Drum
Tenor drums are instantly recognizable to any football fan. They are percussion drums found during almost every half time show. They are a lower pitched derivative of the Snare Drum, and they come in sets of three to six drums. A football fan would recognize the marching band drummer carrying the set anywhere, just as this fan would recognize the sound anywhere.
These types of drums are diverse instruments, and they can be played with a variety of drumsticks. Pretty much any mallet or stick can be used to play these drums, and the heads can be made of pretty much any material. This includes plastic, wood, metal, nylon, etc. You could use snare drumsticks, wooden drumsticks, nylon drumsticks, or carbon drumsticks, just as examples. It all depends on the type of sound you want to get out of the drum set.
Often tenor drums are described by how many drums come in a set, for instance a quad would be a set of four. These quads are then arranged based on pitch. The lowest pitch will sit on the drummer’s left side, and the highest on the right. The idea is that a variety of pitch produces a multitude of sound from just one individual drummer, and as every football fan knows, these drums pack a punch.
