Bearing Edge

In 40 years of product development, Yamaha has found four wood snare drum bearing edge

designs that produce unique tonal character and depth. Sharp edges deliver sharper tone with

excellent response and rounded angles produce a rounder, thicker tone. Varying the thickness of

the radius top allows for further modiﬁ cation.

Using different bearing designs on the top and bottom of the snare is also effective in modifying the tone.

Snare Bed

Snare bed depth greatly influences snare

effectiveness making it the most important factor

in creating the snare drum sound. Yamaha

offers three snare bed types; a standard 1.8mm,

a 2.7mm that offers greater snare sensitivity,

and the 3.5mm used on the Steve Gadd

Signature Snare Drum.

• Standard 1.8mm

• For Sensitive Sound 2.7mm

• For Staccato Sound 3.5mm

Vent Holes

The number of vent holes in the shell has an

impact on projection. The number of vent holes

found in Yamaha snare drums will vary according

to the type of tone being sought.

While the single hole is standard, a two-hole

design like that used on the Sensitive Series,

offers greater response, and the nine-hole design

on the Loud Series delivers a crisp sound.

Sonic Hoop

“Sonic Hoop Reinforcement Concept”

In the past, reinforcement hoops were used

to compensate for inadequacies inherent

to old shell designs that would often cause

the shell go out of round. Utilizing Yamaha's

Air Seal System, it is virtually impossible for

shells to go out of round. Our reasoning for

using reinforcement hoops now is strictly a

musical one. We utilize these hoops to bring

out particular tonal characteristics, giving the

drummer new and speciﬁ c musical choices.

When a shell is being created via our Air Seal

System, the Yamaha “Sonic Hoops”are being

treated at the same time. In the end, this

original process causes the hoops and shell

to act as one unit as opposed to merely two

pieces being glued together. This guarantees a

sturdy reinforcement. Musically, it also produces

a short sustain of the fundamental note, while

also giving a rich and longer overtone.

Sonic Hoops can be found on the

V-Series(VSD), Steve Jordan, and Andre

Ceccarelli models.
