Here we have one of the new addition Recording Custom series snare drums designed in conjunction with the legendary Steve Gadd. Using Steve’s valuable input to its maximum this new breed of R.C. snares offer superb consistency, great feel and beautiful design.
2 Snare Wires included
20 strand snare wire equipped and Steve Gadd signature 10 strand snare wire bundled. 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 drummer to produce a crisper staccato tone.
Centre Bead
After repeated evaluations of Yamaha's design by Steve Gadd, they created a groundbreaking snare drum. To date, Yamaha’s snare drums have traditionally had the metal centre bead on the interior of the drum. However, for the new RC, Yamaha have taken the step of fixing the centre bead to the outside of the drum to produces a more open sound.
Q-Type Strainer
The heavy-duty Q-type strainer is robust whilst offering solid, stable and smooth operation, along with adjustment and snare replacement.
