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
• Heavy-Duty Q-Type Strainer
• Bright, Articulate Tone
• Requires Little Dampening
