Description

The new addition of the metal snare lineup to the Recording Custom series represents the addition of Yamaha’s finest snare drums, using Steve Gadd’s valuable input to its maximum. It adds a superb consistency, allowing drummers to fully utilize the sound functionality of the kit.

Features:
Snare Wire – 20 strand snare wire equipped, and Steve Gadd signature 10 strand snare wire bundled (14×5.5).

The drum includes the snare wire that Steve prefers to use. This is a 14 strand snare wire with the middle four strands removed. This special snare wire enhances the cutoff of the sound, enabling the artist to produce a crisper staccato tone.

Center Bead
To date, Yamaha’s snare drums have traditionally had the metal center bead on the interior of the drum. However, they have taken the step of fixing the center bead to the outside of the drum to produce a more open sound than their conventional drums, for crisp, articulate performance.

Q Type Strainer
The heavy-duty Q-type strainer is robust while offering solid, stable and smooth operation, along with adjustment and snare replacement.

Stainless Steel Snare Drum

Crisp, cutting, articulate, and penetrating.
Constructed out of stainless steel to deliver an overly bright tone that has a powerful cut that can penetrate the high frequencies and allowing for it to cut through loud music. The steel also provides an excellently long sustain to help create a big tone and provides the snare drum with a distinctive rimshot sound that is satisfyingly sharp and is excellent for any player that use many rimshots.

14 x 5.5 for tight and sensitive
14 x 7 for powerful penetration
