<Japan Custom Snare Drum> JAPAN CUSTOM SNARE DRUMS are the culmination of the knowledge, meticulous research and study that has shaped every SAKAE product to date, as well as the exceptional skills and years of experience cultivated by the skilled craftsmen who handcraft these snares in our Osaka laboratory. Two models will be released this time: Phosphor Bronze and Walnut. Each model is available in two sizes. Both models come with a soft case. JAPAN CUSTOM SNARE DRUMS will mark a new milestone in SAKAE's history of pursuing the best sound, quality, and playability. Walnut snares are the delicatessen of the drum world. Selecting the finest walnut wood and hand-crafting it in our Osaka lab by our skilled craftsmen maximizes the wide range, rich volume, and unique tone that only walnut can provide. Walnut is available in two sizes: 14x6.5 and 14x5.5. It has a very unique and delicate sound that suits any type of music. Shell The 7-ply, 7.2mm shell delivers a balanced snare sound with a rich, articulate midrange. Made from thick, ultra-high carbon snare wire. It contains more carbon than standard high-carbon wire, resulting in increased strength and a faster, sharper response. Hoop The JAPAN CUSTOM SNARE comes with SAKAE's familiar Mighty Halo, which has an inward-facing top edge that produces a powerful sound with reduced high-frequency overtones. ●The reinforced metal used in the lug die-casting process speeds up the transmission of sound from top to bottom, resulting in a sharper sound. The strainer is extremely sensitive and precise, allowing players to freely set the delicate tension they desire.
