Answer 1

don't realy know what a marching snare drum is.

goodluck

Answer 2

Most music stores do not stock marching drums of any sort. Schools are the biggest market for them and they would order them from the store which would then have the equipment shipped straight from the factory to the school.

Your best approach is to buy one online like at musicians friend or wwbw.com

the yamaha that you chose is a powerlite, it is lightweight, the rims are not very sturdy & if you crank your batter head on tight or do hard rimshots, the rim goes out of round (which then causes the drum head to pull or tear).

If you like yamaha, get the fieldcorps type at the very least as they are able to take much more use/abuse.

Answer 3

Any good guitar shop will have them.  There are a few chain stores in this country, depending on where you live:

Daddy's Junky Music

American Music

Sam Ash Music

Answer 4

At a music store.  Yamaha is a very respected brand.
