Special pricing on this Yamaha Grand Symphonic Rosewood series snare drum.....14x5....that was used at the recently completed Bands of America Concert Festival.
For nearly 40 years Yamaha has designed premium snare drums for many mediums of music. Creating the ultimate orchestral snare drums demanded new ideas, innovative designs and materials. With guidance from world-renowned percussionists, Yamaha pursued its objective by starting fresh. The first step was inventing an entirely new strainer system (patent pending). Then Yamaha developed an innovative three-piece tubular lug and chose to use three separate snares on each drum. Additionally, Yamaha selected solid Rosewood-entirely unique in the snare drum world but common to high-end marimbas. The results of this intense creative process are three exciting, distinctive instruments that truly live up to their name: Yamaha Grand Symphonic Concert Snare Drums.
The smooth action of this new Silent Throwoff system eliminates all contact noise when engaging the snares. The three individually-tensioned snares are easy to attach for quick head changes and tuning.
The three snares that make up the Triple Snare System ensure a bright, defined tone, even when playing pianissimo. A fourth snare, made of high-carbon steel, is included.
Yamaha's new Double-Cut Edge (30º/45º) unique approach to bearing edge cut allows the middle ply of the shell to vibrate first allowing the entire shell vibrates faster. This results in a more focused and articulate sound and a deeper snare bed cut for the bottom head gives a quicker snare response and a crisper tone. Additionally, the rounded edge shape of the snare bed improves both response and tuning accuracy.
This drum features a 100% Solid Rosewood Shell that includes Yamaha's stave construction process which attaches vertical blocks of prime rosewood into a barreled shape, producing a warm, rich tone.
