Yamaha SD6455 Handcrafted Copper Snare Drum 14"x5.5" - Excellent Condition
Description:
The Ultimate Dark & Warm Metal Snare – Handcrafted in Japan, a rare, discontinued Yamaha SD6455 14" x 5.5" Copper Snare Drum in Excellent condition. If you are looking for a snare that delivers the projection and cut of a metal shell but retains the dark, fat, organic warmth of a wood drum, this is the Holy Grail.
Condition Notes:
This drum has been exceptionally well cared for in a smoke-free studio environment.
- Shell: The 1.5mm seamless copper shell is structurally perfect, completely round, with zero dents or deep scratches. It shows slight surface scratches and micro-patina/surface aging inherent to raw copper instruments and commensurate with age.
- Hardware: The chrome plating on the DynaHoops is bright, clean, and entirely free of pitting or rust, as are the Nouveau quick-release lugs.
- Functionality: The original strainer mechanism operates flawlessly, smoothly engaging and disengaging. Tension rods spin smoothly.
Features:
- Seamless Copper Shell: Provides a rich, fat low-mid punch with controlled overtones.
- Nouveau Quick-Release Lugs: Low-mass, floating design maximizes shell resonance and allows for lightning-fast head changes.
- 2.3mm DynaHoops: Heavy-duty triple-flanged hoops offer a wide tuning range, fat rimshots, and clear cross-sticks.
- Japan Craftsmanship: Built during Yamaha’s legendary era of high-end domestic manufacturing.
The drum comes fitted with lightly played Remo Coated Ambassador Batter is ready to record or gig right out of the box.
- I am a Collector with over 130 Reverb transactions & a 100% 5-Star rating. Drum will ship day of purchase.
