The Yamaha Recording Custom Birch Snare 14"x8" in Real Wood is a professional snare drum made of 6 layers (6 mm) of birch wood with 10 tension rods on each side and a lacquer finish. Available in four colors and two sizes, they are the ideal complement to Yamaha Recording Custom shell sets. The snare wire with 25 High Carbon Steel strands is smoothly and sensitively adjusted by the Q-Type throw-off. Equipped with Remo U.S.A. heads, 1.6 mm steel hoops, One-Piece Lug and the typical 30° bearing edge, the Recording Custom snares offer professional prerequisites for studio and stage.
The Recording Custom snare is available in four different lacquer finishes that perfectly match the existing Recording Custom shell sets. The 1.6 mm steel hoop guarantees tuning stability, also thanks to the one-piece lugs, and open sound with plenty of attack. The shell is made of 6 layers of finest American birch, with a total thickness of 6 mm. On the batter and reso side are original Remo Ambassador heads, Coated on top and Hazy on bottom. The classic Yamaha Q-Type throw-off promises smoothness and stability. The bearing edge is, as with all Recording Custom drums from Yamaha, cut at a 30° angle, which makes the head rest perfectly. The larger contact surface also causes a richer sound, which is characterized by a lot of attack and volume both in the studio and in live use on stage.
