The Yamaha Stage Custom Steel snare drum delivers cutting highs and full-bodied punch and attack for your kit. This drum features durable triple-flanged hoops for a wide open sound and high-tension lugs that accommodate heads tuned and tensioned to the limit. Additionally, the snare offers 20 strands of short hi-carbon steel for maximum sensitivity and a robust B-type release and DC-type butt plate for smooth adjustment. A padded drum case is also included for portable protection between gigs. Amazingly strong, these cases include a thick fleece lining to keep drums extra safe. The outer cover is also extremely strong and durable.
