Full Description
View Full DescriptionHybrid shell for versatile tones
The Absolute Hybrid Maple snare features a unique shell design that blends maple's tonal warmth with the density of wenge, a hardwood native to Africa. This combination offers a drum sound that responds beautifully to various dynamics and playing styles, delivering a clear, resonant tone at both soft and loud volumes. Whether you're playing delicate ghost notes or powerful backbeats, this snare keeps up effortlessly.
Hook lugs for easy maintenance
Yamaha's hook lugs are designed for convenience and precision. They make head changes quick and easy, saving time during setups or tuning adjustments. Their small footprint on the shell maximises tone output, while offering exceptional tuning stability, even under high tension. This makes it easier to achieve the perfect pitch and maintain it, no matter how hard you play.
Die-cast hoops for sharp attack
The 3.0mm aluminium die-cast hoops give the snare drum a distinct, focused sound with a sharp attack. These hoops control overtones, allowing for a cleaner, more articulate response, while their rigid construction ensures a tight, crisp decay. This makes the snare highly responsive to various playing techniques, from rimshots to subtle rolls.
Optimised bearing edges for balanced tone
The snare's 45'' bearing edges are optimised to deliver a balanced tone across the drum's entire tuning range. This design improves the drum's sensitivity to your playing dynamics, ensuring a consistent sound from soft strokes to powerful hits. Combined with the hybrid shell, the bearing edges ensure that the drum sounds great at any volume, with clarity and depth in every stroke.
