  • Todd Snare born Todd Lowther is a drummer who has played in the bands PM Dawn, Groove Theory, and The Jon Tiven Group and is currently the resident drummer for Muslim rap group Native Deen. He currently goes by the stage name of Tariq Snare, after converting to Islam in August 2003. His style on stage is that of a quiet and soulful genius who beats out complicated breaks without breaking a sweat. He usually dresses in traditional Muslim garb, complete with a white kuffi and miswak, and his suave demeanor on stage can be likened to that of rapper Method Man. Tariq began playing the drums at the tender age of 8, at his uncle's house in Harlem. Here, over the summers he would try out different rhythms and patterns and develop his unique drumming style. In high school he played for a band as well as collaborating with many older musicians. In his early career he has played with artists such as Keith Sweat, PM Dawn, Johnny Kemp, Queen Latifa, Bell Biv DeVoe, Michael Urbaniak, Bernard Wright, Angie Stone, Kelis, Bilal, Wilson Pickett, Mavis Staples, Cool and the Gang, Groove Theory as well as many others. Tariq attended the University of Long island, where he obtained a B.A. in music. After university he continued to tour and play drums with various bands. He also was a teacher in local Junior high school where he taught language arts, social studies and eventually music. He currently resides in Brooklyn, New York with his daughter Tia.
