Rides with a buttery-soft feel. Crashes that range from dark and shimmering with thin models, to powerful and focused with heavier ones. Classic warm tone and sonic individuality come together in Meinl’s Byzance Traditional series.

Developed in collaboration with drumming legend Steve Gadd, the Yamaha 14″ x 5.5″ Recording Custom Aluminum Snare Drum includes a handful of special features that set it apart from just another aluminum drum. When you open the box, the drum inside will be equipped with 20-strand snappy snare wires, which is fairly typical. However, you’ll also find a special 10-strand set of wires in the box made to Steve’s preference – it’s really a 14-strand set with four inner wires cut out for a crisper sound! The center bead along the equator of the shell is fixed on the outside to give the drum more openness and fullness. A heavy-duty Q-type strainer gives you smooth, stable snare action and it just feels solid. Aluminum gives you a tastefully bright tone that doesn’t ring quite as much as other metals, so you don’t have to dampen to get the right sound.

Features:

• 1.2mm Aluminum Shell
• Newly designed one-piece lug
• Developed with Steve Gadd
• Includes Special 10-Strand Snare Wires (Extra)
• Center Bead Fixed to Outside

The Equinox 14" Snare features a North American Maple shell, reinforcement rings and the classic styling of single-flanged hoops which evoke musical traditions and modern execution. This drum possesses the controlled articulation needed to hear the most subtle ghost notes coupled with a bright and open presence at full volume.

FEATURES:

The harder all-Maple shell and edge reinforcement rings raise the frequency response in the 1-3 kHz range, giving this drum a clear and bright tone to cut through guitars, larger ensembles and horn bands.

The SONIClear Bearing Edge is standard on all Black Panther Design Lab Shells and allows the drumhead to sit flatter and make better contact with the shell. The result is a clearer fundamental pitch, effortless and consistent tuning, and a significantly expanded tuning range

Design Lab Snares feature Puresound Custom Series 16-Strand wires. The wires are medium-gauged evenly spaced standard coils, providing an even balance between snare response and shell sound.

The Cylinder-Drive Strainer and Butt-End Adjuster use a self-lubricating bearing to ensure smooth operation. The adjustment dial employs "micro-lock" technology that provides precise control and prevents the snare wires from loosening during play.
