Yamaha SFZ Series Marching Snare Drum - Product Information

Renowned for its distinctive sound, wide dynamic range, and explosive rim shot, the Yamaha SFZ (Sforzando) marching snare drum delivers premium sound and durability. 2022 Yamaha introduced the MS9400 Series Marching Snare Drums with tighter articulation and enhanced projection through the addition of extra vent holes. The MS9400 Snare Drums feature a reduced weight over previous models allowing for Increased player control and less fatigue while still maintaining the famous Yamaha durability. Additional improvements include an increased shell depth of 6mm to embellish the warmth of the 6-ply maple shell.

The strainer system has seen function and appearance upgrades as well allowing for easier adjustment access. For urgent drumhead changes, the strainer system allows for quick and easy removal of the snare assembly. With the use of FiberTech snares, a crisp and articulate sound is obtained while ten independently adjustable strands allow for precise tuning control. The butt-side strainer uses aluminum die-cast construction for strength without excess weight, and has vertical adjustment capability for a precise setting of snare height. This also houses the independent adjustment for each FiberTech snare gut. The release-side strainer uses parts made of die-cast aluminum and durable nylon for a smooth, noise-free operation. An oversized vertical adjustment knob allows adjustment to snare height even when snares are engaged. For a precise setting of the snare tension, the horizontal adjustment knob is within easy reach of the player.

The 2022 hoop shape not only reduces weight but noticeably increases stick durability.

With the thickest wall in the industry, the SFZ suspension ring allows high-tension tuning without warping. It uses a solid, die-cast design and a special aluminum alloy to provide exceptional strength with minimum weight. It is also tall enough to accommodate the stretch of a plastic head.

An extra long lug nut provides sufficient threading to effectively grip the tension rod. Its beveled edge guides the rod to eliminate cross threading, a feature especially helpful during last-minute head changes.

Great Snare

Comments:

Yamaha Sfz 9300 series has consistently been great. We have been using it for a very long time and it produces great sound quality. The gravity guards really help. Just wish that the price was lower.

Great snare

Comments:

I play with this snare on my high school drumline. It is an amazing drum. So articulate and durable. i must say though the drum is a little on the heavy side but the great sound makes up for it. My favorite part is the rim shots. They stick out both in the gym and on the football field. Overall a great drum.

Amazing

Comments:

Every drum has its unique sound. I like Yamaha, Pearl, and Dynasty. But by far Yamaha has always been my drum of choice, durable, easy to take apart, quality, tonal range, and of course that amazing SFZ rimshot. Check out all the high schools, universitys, and drum corps that use these, they sound great.

The Best!

Comments:

My line has these snares and they are the best i have played on. they are great and you can put kevlar heads on them. they sound great especially out on the field. they are lighter than the pearl drums too. we can go for hours at a time with out taking it off and it wont hurt your back. these are just the best snares i have ever played and i love them.

Best I've used

Comments:

This is the drum we use in our drumline and i love everything about it, even tuning it is fun because i can get such a great sound out of it. It's high tension allows for distinct, crisp rolls and excellent rimshots. But it does seem to be a little quieter than our older drums, but than again I guess I'm not an expert but I would recommend this drum. It's definitely worth the money.
