Six-ply, 5.6 mm maple shell with 45° bearing edge
Designed to combine warm, open tone with tonal depth and quick response.

Independent shopping perspective
The Candy Apple Satin version of Yamaha’s 14 x 6.5 in. Tour Custom Maple snare uses a six-ply, 5.6 mm maple shell. A 45° bearing edge is intended to add depth while keeping the drum quick to respond across a wide dynamic range. The 2.3 mm inverse DynaHoop manages the maple shell’s natural overtones and directs attention to its fundamental tone. Absolute lugs use single-point mounting for open tone and controlled attack; dual tension adjustment at the compact strainer supports precise snare refinement.
