Yamaha Akira Jimbo 35th Anniversary Steel Snare Drum 14×5 – YSS-1450AJ

ITEM DESCRIPTION

To commemorate a rewarding 35-year partnership, Yamaha has collaborated with Akira Jimbo, one of Japan’s most renowned drummers, to develop the Akira Jimbo signature snare drum, taking a fresh, innovative and logical approach to crafting a high-end snare that reflects the style and technique of this uniquely talented musician.

There are only 35 of these snares in the U.S. Act fast; once they’re gone, they’re gone for good!

Shell

The snare shell features a 1mm ply that affords a tighter sound and feel by cutting out excess noise. The attractive exterior finishing is performed at the same factory as our flagship PHX Series, producing a drum that looks as good as it sounds.

Resonance Control Binding

Featuring Akira Jimbo and Yamaha’s newly developed Resonance Control Binding, the Akira Jimbo snare gives drummers more flexibility in as they search for their own sound. The Resonance Control Binding can be tightened or opened around the snare frame to cut out excess noise or adjust sustain, and used in a range of different configurations to give complete control over the resonance of the drum.

Q-Type Strainer

For ultimate reliability and a stylish, gradated feel, we decided on the same strainers used for our flagship Absolute Hybrid Maple and Live Custom kits – the very best that Yamaha has to offer.
