The new addition of the wood snare line up to the Recording Custom series represents the addition of Yamaha’s finest snare drums, using Steve Gadd’s valuable input to its maximum. It adds a superb consistency, allowing drummers to fully utilize the sound functionality of the kit. After repeated evaluations of the design by Steve Gadd, Yamaha have created a ground-breaking snare drum.

One-piece lug

 The revamped modern design retains the traditional essence of the Recording Custom. Our high-tension one-piece lugs ensure optimum sustain for the core sound, producing a crisp, articulate tone.

6ply, 6mm, 100% Birch Shell

In addition to their punchy power, birch shells are known to reduce unwanted noise and prevent interference when drums are set up side-by-side. The unique sonic characteristics of birch wood ensure that each stroke is clearly delineated, making it widely considered to be the ideal choice for recording environments.
