Yamaha Live Custom Oak snare drums focus on playing in live situations using 1.2mm oak plies (10% thicker than the Oak Custom) which provide a powerful low-end that shakes your soul. The Air Seal System ensures a perfectly round shell, while producing long-term tonal excellence. This snare drum sounds more fitted for this series drum sets with its materials and colors used same as toms of its series. The drum is fitted with Yamaha's exclusive Absolute lugs, which add a refined aesthetic. Additionally, an updated and heavy-duty snare strainer offers quick, smooth snare adjustments in live performance situations.
