<YAIBA II Snare Drum> This snare drum is from the YAIBA series, which has already been praised by artists around the world, including Kenny Washington and Tutty Moreno, who say it has a "high-end sound!" We have reviewed the shell construction, parts, and manufacturing process, and by adopting a forced-curing lacquer (UV) that is also used by other companies in their high-end models as the exclusive finish for the Blade II, rather than nitrocellulose lacquer, which is the most time-consuming and costly method, we have achieved significant reductions in manufacturing time and costs. The YAIBA series is made in Japan and offers amazing cost performance, making it a drum that in some ways is "worth the price." The birch shell is known for its tight, deep, and solid sound, and by attaching heavy Yaiba die-cast lugs, it also gives the guitar a solid, defined sound. Size: 14 x 6.5 Shell: 6-ply Birch Finish: Matt White Lacquer Hoop: 2.3mm Steel Power Hoop / 8-hole Lug: Yaiba Die-cast Lug Snare: Vintage Snare Wire Accessories: Tuning key *Case not included.
