Yamaha SBS1455 Stage Custom Birch 14 x 5.5 Snare

As with the introduction of Stage Custom in 1995 YAMAHA once again sets the standards of value and sound. The new Stage Custom inherits 100% birch wood, with upgraded metal parts.

Birch Shell
The Stage Custom employs 100% birch - a classic in the realm of high-class drum kits. Moreover, with its six-ply structure the Stage Custom accurately conveys the vibrations produced at the impact surface.

Triple Flange Steel Hoop
This hoop can be used in all situations for a wide open sound.

Bearing Edge
R1, 45°
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 modification. 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. This model's snare bed is stanndard 1.8mm.

Strainer
B type (Release) and P type (Butt)

One-piece Lugs
Our high-tension one-piece lugs can accommodate heads tensioned to the limit.
