[Used Sakae maple snare drums from the era when they were made in Japan have arrived!] ●In the sound design process, we prioritize improving sound pressure and directivity. We have tested hundreds of combinations of materials, thickness, depth, and part shapes, and in order to accurately evaluate the results, we rely not only on deep knowledge of musical instruments and many years of experience, but also on evaluations in live ensemble settings. This pursuit of sound is the foundation of development at SAKAE. ● The die-cast lugs also play a role in helping to transmit vibrations that the shell cannot fully transmit, and by making it a one-piece design, the sound is transmitted faster from top to bottom, resulting in a sharper sound. ● Strainer: Smooth and seamless operation. It locks securely while eliminating unnecessary operating noises. ● The snare wire uses ultra-high carbon wire (which has a higher carbon content than regular high carbon wire), resulting in faster response and louder volume. The problem of wires breaking due to increased hardness has also been improved through a unique manufacturing process. ●Mighty Halo Hoop: The hoop edges are angled inward, producing a powerful sound with controlled high-frequency harmonics.
