Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Yamaha’s Stage Custom SSS-1465 is a 14 × 6.5 in. steel snare designed to bring cutting highs, full-bodied punch, and attack into a drum kit. The 1.0 mm steel shell works with 1.5 mm triple-flange hoops for an open sound, while one-piece high-tension lugs accommodate heavily tensioned heads. Its 20-strand high-carbon steel wires are specified for sensitivity, and the B-9 throw-off with DC butt plate provides smooth snare adjustment. Remo Ambassador heads are fitted on both batter and resonant sides.
