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 of the snare's weight and cutting attack makes it excellent for heavy rock and metal, as well as music that requires definition.
Yamaha's recording custom snare drum features a one-piece lug nut that has been precision-machined to provide noise-free control. It allows for high levels of tension with the snare wires to add some weight in order to enhance the snare's subtle low frequencies and 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.
