Designed for performances where precision is essential, Yamaha's RLS1470 Recording Custom Steel 14'' x 7" impresses with its clarity and sonic consistency. Its 1.2 mm stainless steel body offers a balance of defined attack and harmonic richness, ideal for recording.

The 45° chamfers ensure clear contact between the body and the barrel, improving articulation and resonance. The Dyna Hoop rims stabilise the tuning while maintaining natural dynamics. The 25-string timbre, combined with the Yamaha Q-Type trigger, ensures a smooth release with good sustain.

As for the finish, the Hairline Clear has a clean, unobtrusive look that's well looked after. The chrome fittings are a visual highlight. The original skins, Remo Ambassador sandblasted and Reso, provide a familiar and effective sound base.

With its 14" x 7" format, this snare drum is equally at home in the home studio or on stage. It will appeal to drummers looking for a precise texture without losing musicality.
