What We Think

Yamaha’s Recording Custom Aluminum snare drum offers the classic crispness of aluminum at a player’s price point. The thin 1.2mm allows the drum to fully and warmly resonate, while the 3mm hoops add a degree of focus, resulting in an open yet articulate tone. Perfectly suited for jazz and classic rock, this snare provides gigging drummers with an affordable and versatile workhorse.
