Yamaha Recording Custom Brass Snare Drum RRS1465- Brass 14" x 6.5"
The new addition of the metal snare lineup to the Recording Custom series represents the addition of Yamaha's finest snare drums, using Steve's valuable input to its maximum. It adds a superb consistency, allowing drummers to fully utilize the sound functionality of the kit.
Snare Wire:Â 20 strand snare wire equipped, and Steve Gadd signature 10 strand snare wire bundled (14" x 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:Â After repeated evaluations of Yamaha's design by Steve Gadd, Yamaha has created a groundbreaking snare drum. To date, Yamaha's snare drums have traditionally had the metal center bead on the interior of the drum. However, Yamaha has taken the step of fixing the center bead to outside of the drum to produce a more open sound than the conventional drums, for crisp, articulate performance.Â
Q Type Strainer:Â The heavy-duty Q-type strainer is robust whilst offering solid, stable and smooth operation, along with adjustment and snare replacement.
