The classic snare is a sound that gave me absolutely no end of problems when I first started beatboxing. It is probably the hardest of the basic sounds to do, so if you're just starting out don't feel discouraged!

To make the sound

1 - Think of the word "poof" without the "oo"
2 - Tighten it up until it sounds percussive
3 - Alternatively, poke your tongue out slightly and build up pressure behind your top lip
4 - Pull your tongue back in to allow the air to escape, giving a sound very similar to the snare.

Peace, love, and rattles
