The mallets are really easy because I play the piano.
If the sound of the snare annoys you, just turn the snares off.
It did- I don't mind it anymore, but now I don't practice it because I'm so far behind some of the others in my band, and I'd much rather play the mallets anyway.

Well, you can't exactly turn the snares off in the middle of a band rehearsal. The conductor's gonna notice and ask why his snare drum has no snare.

That too, but that's not to say there aren't fun things to do on a drum with the snares off. I can play Mary had a little lamb and Ode to Joy, personally.

I have no knowledge on wind instruments. I used to play the cello before I played the drums.
I actually find it easier to play a drumroll on a hard wooden surface or a wall than doing it on a snare drum.

I play viola, and that is it. Is it just me, or are the only places I meet other viola players at places like Scioly and leadership conferences? It seems to be a very nerdy instrument.
