How hard would it be to learn to play marching snare without drum experience?

Even though i don't have drum experience i do have musical experience playing clarinet for 7 years so i know music. however i've always wanted to play snare but never had an opportunity so now i wanted to learn how to play marching snare.

I too, am a clarinetist. I tried percussion for about a week but stopped. Maybe it's because I didn't have the willpower, but it was hard to learn! However through my years of marching band, there have been several wind players that have made drumline or pit. That was because they played a non-marching instrument like the oboe or bassoon, though. Try it, but I wouldn't recommend it. Stick to the clarinet!
