Yamaha Tour Custom 14" x 5.5" Snare Drum – Pure Maple Power, Studio Precision

The Yamaha Tour Custom 14" x 5.5" Snare Drum delivers the crisp articulation and warm resonance that professional drummers demand. Built from 100% maple, this snare features a 6-ply, 5.6mm shell crafted with Yamaha’s legendary precision. The result is a bright, responsive voice with controlled overtones and a quick attack—perfect for both live performance and recording.

At the heart of its tone lies a 45° bearing edge, which promotes optimal head-to-shell contact for sharp sensitivity and full-bodied projection. This snare sings with clarity in high-tension settings and retains depth when tuned lower, giving you excellent dynamic range and tonal control across genres.

Yamaha's newly designed 2.3mm Inverse Dyna Hoops provide a focused, dry attack by controlling excessive overtones and enhancing the snare’s fundamental pitch. The result is a clean, centered tone that cuts through a mix without overpowering it.

This drum features Yamaha’s Absolute lugs, known for their sleek appearance and consistent tuning stability, and an improved P-Type strainer system. The strainer and butt side offer smooth, quiet operation with adjustable height, making it easy to dial in the perfect snare tension. A silicon-rubber-lined throw-off lever ensures secure locking and quiet transitions.

Topped with professional-grade Remo US Coated Ambassador batter and Snare Ambassador bottom heads, and equipped with a 20-strand high-carbon steel snare wire, the Tour Custom snare is ready to deliver out of the box.

Whether you're laying down tracks in the studio or performing night after night, the Yamaha Tour Custom 14" x 5.5" snare drum brings together high-end tone, pro features, and Yamaha’s enduring craftsmanship.
