Yamaha Live Custom Hybrid 14" x 5.5" Snare Drum (Ice Sunburst)

Born for the stage. Made using traditional handcrafting techniques, the Yamaha Live Custom Hybrid 14" x 5.5" Snare Drum is an instrument to be treasured for generations. A perfect blend of power and articulation is achieved by a hybrid shell of oak and phenolic sheets. This shell concept is taken from Yamaha's flagship PHX and Absolute Hybrid Maple series drum kits, so the Hybrid Oak Snare is certainly in good company. The shells are finished using strict Japanese methods, accentuating the natural beauty of the oak grain. The result - a snare drum that's as striking visually as it is sonically. You'll master any style or genre that you call your own.

Full Description

Fundamental Focus

Focused tone, yet open enough to have great character. The Yamaha Tour Custom snare features 6-ply, 5.6mm all-maple shells with a 45-degree bearing edge. This adds tonal depth and a sensitive, quick response.

To give you more control, the Tour Custom features a 2.3mm Inverse Dyna Hoop. This controls the overtones from the maple shell, providing more focus on the fundamental tone. With ten Absolute Lugs the snare remains in tune while adding a touch of class to the drums appearance.
