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.  

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.”
