Dave Weckl Signature Snare Drum

5" x 14" 6-ply 6mm Maple Shell
The thin Maple shell combined with the 5" depth gives the Yamaha Dave Weckl Signature Snare Drum great versatility. You can tune it low and fat or crank it up to cut in a loud musical situation.

Dual Strainer Design
The Dave Weckl signature snare drums have a unique dual strainer design that uses snares of two different compositions. Dave prefers to have tight tension on the hi-carbon snares and loose tension on the stainless steel wires. This gives him the perfect balance of precision and an open "airy" sound to compliment his amazing technique.

Nouveau Lugs
The quick release, low contact lug makes it easier to change heads in the studio and gives the drum a very wide dynamic range.

8-lug Aluminum Die Cast Hoops
The Aluminum die cast lugs give you precise tuning while maintaining an open, warm tone. Using only 8 lugs gives accurate tuning with minimum metal on the shell.

Solid Black finish
Yamaha's legendary Solid Black is like no other. Yamaha hand-finishes their drums using the same technique that is used on their grand pianos.
