A very rare drum!

Crafted with a unique blend of artistry and innovation, Yamaha's Bamboo Snare Drum offers a truly distinctive sound that will elevate your drumming experience. In their quest for alternative materials, Yamaha discovered bamboo—a naturally stunning material with incredible tonal qualities. While bamboo is challenging to work with, their skilled craftspeople developed a groundbreaking approach that showcases its natural beauty and warmth.

This snare features a shell made from six paper-thin plies of bamboo, skilfully bonded using Yamaha's exclusive Air-Seal System. The result? A resonant and rich low-end tone that adds warmth and depth perfect for drummers seeking something different.

Why Bamboo?
Bamboo is known for its strength and natural beauty, but it also brings a distinct tonal quality that can't be replicated by traditional wood shells. With a remarkable balance of warmth, depth, and articulation, Yamaha's bamboo snare drum is a perfect choice for drummers looking for a truly one-of-a-kind sound.
