How it's made

Source
two stick strikes on a snare, then one crash cymbal; 1 ms filtered stick excitations.
Body
snare membrane modes near 190, 304 and 412 Hz drop 18% over 25 ms; a 1.8 kHz rim rings briefly. Loose snare wires add 0.1 s of band-limited noise, separate from the 0.16 s membrane decay.
Cymbal
28 inharmonic plate modes from 650 Hz to 10 kHz, with irregular spacing and diffuse metallic wash. High modes decay faster; the wash low-pass falls from 8-12 kHz to 2.8 kHz as the plate loses energy.
Envelope
snare hits at 0 and 0.14 s, crash at 0.31 s; 4 ms cymbal bloom, damped tail to 1.4 s. Every layer has a finite smooth ending; no room reverb is baked in.
Variation
seeded tuning +/-1.5%, strike strengths and plate phases; spacing, drum tuning, wire damping, cymbal brightness and choke time distinguish club, quick sting, low deadpan and bright splash presets.
