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)

*Snare Plate (Pat. Pend.)
Yamaha snare plates offer superior snare to head contact due to the slight bend in their design. When the string is drawn tight, the edge of the patented snare plate is pulled upward putting the snare in full contact with the head.
*Strong Snare Strings
Nylon strings are covered with a nylon braid for maximum strength and durability.
