    Birch-shell recording snare drum

    Percussion · Japan

    Yamaha's Recording Custom wood snare uses a 6-ply North American birch shell with 30-degree bearing edges and lightweight 1.6mm triple-flanged hoops, a Q-type throw-off, and 25-strand snare wires, giving the dry, focused attack designed for studio recording.

  • Tama S.L.P.

    Tama's Sound Lab Project (S.L.P.) premium snare drum series, a collection of individually voiced snares spanning many shell materials including maple, walnut, brass, bronze, aluminum, and steel, each tuned for a distinct character.

  • Pearl Free Floating

    Shell-isolated snare drum system

    Percussion · Japan

    Pearl's Free Floating snare uses a design in which the shell is completely isolated from the hardware so it can resonate freely; it is offered in aluminum, brass, stainless steel, maple, and mahogany/maple shells with die-cast hoops and Pearl's Click-Lock strainer.

  • Tama Bell Brass

    The heaviest snare anyone made on purpose

    Percussion · Japan

    Tama's bell brass snare used a thick cast bell-bronze shell and weighs enough to be a two-hand lift. It is enormously loud with a long ring, it defined a certain 1980s rock snare sound, and originals now trade for many times their release price.

  • Canopus The Maple

    Thin maple snare with vintage-spec edges

    Percussion · Japan

    "The Maple" is Canopus's standard professional wood snare: a thin maple shell, rounded bearing edges, and the company's own throw-off, in the sizes the vintage catalogue used.

  • Canopus Zelkova

    Solid keyaki-shelled snare

    Percussion · Japan

    The Zelkova snare is turned from solid Japanese zelkova (keyaki), a dense hardwood used in temple construction, giving a hard, focused crack quite unlike a ply shell.
