Yamaha Stage Custom Birch Snare Drum 14 x 5.5 in. Natural Wood

As with the introduction of Stage Custom in 1995, Yamaha once again sets the standards of value and sound. The shell is a key factor in a drum's ability to "rumble" or resonate. Accordingly, the Stage Custom employs 100% birch—a classic in the realm of high-class drum kits. Moreover, with its 6-ply structure the Stage Custom accurately conveys the vibrations produced at the impact surface, achieving performance that overwhelms anything in its class. A 45-degree bearing edge ensures maximum resonance with high overtones.

This snare is fitted with 1.5 mm steel triple-flange hoops, a B-Type side throw-off and Remo heads.
