A belt is installed in the holding plate and when the belt is either tightened or loosened, it causes the snare to respectively contact or become separated from the drum head surface. The holding plate that fixes and holds the snare has a V-shaped cross section including a rear plate part and a front plate part and a bend so that the plate is bent to the drum head. A belt engaging part protrudes down from the rear plate part near the bend and the belt is attached there. A snare is fixed on the radially inner side of the front plate part.
