[Made in Japan! Snare drums from Negi Drums, a long-established Japanese brand founded in 1962, have arrived!] -Negi Drums- Negi Drums has a long history, having been founded in 1962, making it a well-established Japanese brand with over 60 years of history. They are particularly particular about shell specifications, and their drums, which use unique shells rarely seen from other manufacturers, are carefully manufactured one by one in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecture, the "city of music," by President Kotaro Negi with his skilled techniques and passion. -MR1465PI-SBK 8mm Poplar + Maple on Top 14×6.5- It uses 8mm thick poplar wood, and the outer shell is made of maple wood. Lightweight and soft poplar wood is often used in shell plies between other woods because it gives the sound a fatter tone. This model uses poplar wood plyed to a slightly thicker thickness, combined with maple wood on the outside, black paint on the inside of the shell, and 2.3mm thick steel stick saver hoops (inward-curving hoops) to keep the sound from scattering too much. At the moment of impact, it exhibits a thick, fat sound characteristic, but its rapid decay also gives it a dry impression.
