The YamahaStage Custom 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.
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.
One aspect that is often over looked when buying a snare drum is the lugs, this Yamaha Birch Snare has high-tension one-piece lugs which can accommodate greater head tension.
