Out of all of the types of drums in the kit, the snare is one with the most function. Because of the distinct sound that it has, you will be able to distinguish the sound easily.

You might not like the sound of the standard ones. But when you go custom, you will have the chance to choose every bit of material that will help assure it would create good sound and the appearance will be according to your design as well.

The wires are the reason why there is a distinct sound to snares. They are attached to the strainers to make so that they can be adjusted easily. If you can see that there is a broken or stretched wire, it has to be replaced immediately.
