Furthermore, the deeper in size a snare gets the more body it has, though this has little influence on the pitch.
What size snare drum is best?

The main reason electronic drums are so expensive is that they cost a lot to make. They involve a lot of different components, and to get a reliably good sound and feel, the parts are more expensive.
