Yamaha Recording Custom 13" x 6.5" Brass Snare Drum
The new addition of the metal snare lineup to the Recording Custom series represents the addition of Yamaha's finest snare drums, using Steve Gadd's valuable input to its maximum. It adds a superb consistency, allowing drummers to fully utilize the sound functionality of the kit.
The Yamaha 13" x 6.5" Brass Recording Custom Snare Drum was designed in collaboration with legendary drummer and Yamaha artist Steve Gadd to reintroduce their recording custom series with modern technology and the latest innovations for optimising its sound. Possessing precision-machined lug nuts, Remo heads, Q-type and DC3 type strainers and an outward centre bead, Yamaha's Recording Custom Snare Drum is an excellent addition to any drummer wanting to fully utilise their recording custom drum kit. The heavy-duty Q-type strainer is robust whilst offering solid, stable and smooth operation, along with adjustment and snare replacement.
After repeated evaluations of our design by Steve Gadd, we have created a groundbreaking snare drum. The Recording Custom Snare Drum is constructed out of brass for its shell in order to deliver a tone that has plenty of power to it. The brass offers similar tones to other metal shells, producing a crisp sound that has a clear rimshot that can cut through loud music with a good low end punch, but also features a warmth to it that you would normally get from wooden shells. The combination between the snares weight and cutting attack makes it excellent for heavy rock and metal, as well as music that requires definition.

- Depth: 6.5"

- 2.3mm Dyna Hoop
