How to Make Beats Online With a Snare Drum

Making snare drum beats usually requires the assistance of advanced and expensive software and hardware that can be complicated for the untrained beginner to use. Fortunately, thanks to the Internet, beginners, too, can make beats online with a snare drum. Numerous online beat generators exist on the Web, but not all of them offer the option to create snare drum beats.

Things You'll Need

• Online beat generator

Instructions

1. Go to an online beat generator website, such as JamStudio, that offers snare drum instruments for creating beats (see "Resources").

2. Denote the chords for your beat, which will determine the melody of your piece of music.

3. Choose your instrument---to choose a snare drum, click on "Drum" within the "Sound" section and select any of the snares, such as "Snare Happy," "Snare Snake" and "S Snare."

4. Set the volume of your snare drum by sliding the volume slider; set the tempo by sliding the tempo slider.

5. Save your snare drum beat by signing up for a free account and then clicking on "Save."

Tips & Warnings

• Use more than one snare drum at different volumes to create a more complex beat and loop your beats as well.

• Instructions may vary slightly depending upon the online beat generator you use to create your beat, but the general process is the same.
