      This is known as sympathetic snare vibration or "buzz". Depending on how the snare drum is tuned, it will vibrate with certain tones and notes that are within its range. Sympathizing with them, in a way.

    The bass on Lowrider by Yussef Kamaal is one of my all time favorite bass lines!

      Yeeeeeee they broke up and were verbally accosting each other in the streets. I'm quite sure that's not going to happen.
