After being a constant in product development with Yamaha over the last two decades – most recently working with Yamaha to revamp the Recording Custom kits and snares in 2016, Steve has now created his latest signature product with the brand.

What We Think

To commemorate a working relationship of 40 years, Yamaha and Steve Gadd collaborated on a new signature for the drum legend. Unlike his previous signature snare drums, this drum is made of steel and complemented with a sleek black nickel finish. This reimagined drum delivers a wide sonic range commensurate to Steve's playing. It's equipped with a new Steve Gadd 10-strand wire to maximise articulation and aluminium die cast hoops.The Steve Gadd Signature Snare will be limited to a production run of 200 for the US, and each drum will come with a black tuning key plus a certification card.  

Manufacturer's Description from Yamaha

The Yamaha Steve Gadd Signature Snare Drum is a 14”x 5.5” steel-shell snare, equipped with a new Steve Gadd 10-strand wire to maximize articulation. The shell is 1.2mm thick, and is fitted with aluminium die cast hoops – finished in a black nickel at Steve’s request.

 

The Steve Gadd Snare will be limited in production and each drum will come with a black tuning key plus a certification card.

“I have been playing Yamaha drums for over 40 years.” Says Gadd. “It’s been a pleasure working together and I hope our relationship continues to grow,” said Gadd. “This is the latest signature model we have created. I hope you like it.”
