FXpansion presents a collection of Yamaha artist signature snares for the BFD2 library.
Roy Haynes Signature Snare Drum (14" × 5.5")
The sound of jazz great Roy Haynes is embodied in this hand-hammered copper shell snare.
Played with:
- Sticks (strainer on and off)
- Brushes (strainer on and off)
- Mallets (strainer off)
Bamboo Snare Drum (14" × 6.5")
Paper-thin sheets of bamboo are used to create single plies, six of which are used to form perfectly round shells with Yamaha’s original “Air-Seal System”.
Played with:
- Sticks (strainer off)
FHP (fibreglass) Snare Drum (14" × 6")
A precursor to the FRP range, the FHP’s fibreglass material permits the utilisation of thinner 3mm shells, which is said to deliver a fat, dynamic sound with excellent playing response. The FHP uses the same material used in making Yamaha marimbas, xylophones, and tympanis.
Played with:
- Sticks (strainer on and off)
- Hot rods (strainer on and off)
Dave Weckl Signature Model (14" × 5")
One of a series of Dave Weckl signature snares featuring a dual-strainer design, this steel-shell model possesses a unique sound and 'crack’, the company says.
Played with:
- Sticks (strainer on)
- Brushes (strainer on)
Mike Bordin Signature Model (14" × 6.5")
With a partially hand-hammered 2mm copper shell, this snare features a thick, dark tone.
