Detail 01
10-strand snare wire with four center strands removed
The design enhances sound cutoff for a crisper staccato tone.

Independent shopping perspective
At 14 x 5.5 inches, this Yamaha Recording Custom aluminum snare combines an exterior center bead with a specialized 10-strand wire arrangement that omits its middle four strands. That wire design is intended to sharpen the cutoff for a crisper staccato response, while the outside bead is used for a more open sound than Yamaha’s conventional internally beaded drums. Its heavy-duty Q-type strainer keeps adjustment and wire changes smooth and stable.
