Here we have one of the new Stage Custom Birch snare drums. The shell is a key factor in Yamaha drum's ability to "rumble," or resonate. Accordingly, the Stage Custom employs 100% birch - a classic in the realm of high-class drum kits. Moreover, with its six-ply structure the Stage Custom accurately conveys the vibrations produced at the impact surface, achieving performance that overwhelms anything in its class.

Yamaha Stage Custom Snare Drum Features

• Triple Flange Steel Hoop: This hoop can be used in all situations for a wide open sound.
• Bearing Edge: R1, 45° In 40 years of product development, Yamaha has found four wood snare drum bearing edge designs that produce unique tonal character and depth. Sharp edges deliver sharper tone with excellent response and rounded angles produce a rounder, thicker tone. Varying the thickness of the radius top allows for further modification. Using different bearing designs on the top and bottom of the snare is also effective in modifying the tone.
• Snare Bed: Snare bed depth greatly influences snare effectiveness making it the most important factor in creating the snare drum sound. This model's snare bed is stanndard 1.8mm.
• Strainer: B type (Release) and P type (Butt)
• One-piece Lugs: Our high-tension one-piece lugs can accommodate heads tensioned to the limit.
