The recording custom snare drum is constructed out of aluminium for its shell to produce a defined tone that is mellow enough to reduce the need for dampening. The aluminium shell helps to deliver a very crisp tone that can penetrate the high frequencies so its powerful enough to sit well in loud and heavy music.
Yamaha’s recording custom snare drum features a one-piece lug nut that has been precision-machined to provide a noise-free control and allow for a high tension with the snare wires to add some weight in order to enhance the snares subtle low frequencies ad offer great sensitivity and dynamics. The snare also possesses an outward centre bead to give the drum even more open sounds and excellent articulations, along with a Q type strainer to add some robustness to the drum and keep it all stable, with the ability to make any adjustments or replacements.
The Protection Racket Snare Case features high-abrasion resistance 600 denier polyester, ensuring that your snare drum will stay safe and secure. This material won't fade, crack or shrink. Completely waterproof and highly stable in extreme climatic conditions, the Protection Racket Snare Case will keep your snare drum in top condition from gig to gig.
The Protection Racket Snare Case features dual high-density foam. It's hard on the outside and soft on the inside, giving incredible strength and rigidity whilst keeping the case very lightweight. The foam deflects and dissipates impacts so that all of the shock is absorbed into the foam and none passes through to the drum.
The interior of the Protection Racket Snare Case is lined with a non-abrasive synthetic fleece. This removes surface moisture and preserves shell and skin quality between gigs. This material is largely used in cleaning cloths, therefore whilst you're in transit, the interior lining cleans and polishes your drum.
