The Yamaha Recording Custom Snare Drum Aluminium 14" x 6" is built with a aluminium shell, 20-strand and 10-strand snare wire, and comes with a heavy-duty Q-type strainer. Whilst initally equipped with the 20-strand snare wire, this drum comes with the Steve Gadd signature 10-strand wire, which is simply a 14-strand wire with the middle four strands removed. This special design enhances the cutoff of the sound, enabling the drummer to produce a crisper staccato tone. The heavy-duty Q-type strainer is robust and offers solid, stable and smooth operation, along with adjustment and snare replacement.
