R1, 45°
In 40 years of product development, Yamaha has found four wood snare drum bearing edge designs that produce unique tonal character and depth. Sharp edges deliver sharper tone with excellent response and rounded angles produce a rounder, thicker tone. Varying the thickness of the radius top allows for further modification. Using different bearing designs on the top and bottom of the snare is also effective in modifying the tone.

Snare bed depth greatly influences snare effectiveness making it the most important factor in creating the snare drum sound.
This model's snare bed is 2.7mm that offers greater snare sensitivity.

The number of vent holes in the shell has an impact on projection. The number of vent holes found in Yamaha snare drums will vary according to the type of tone being sought.
The nine-hole design on the Loud Series delivers a crisp sound.

*Snare Plate (Pat. Pend.)
Yamaha snare plates offer superior snare to head contact due to the slight bend in their design. When the string is drawn tight, the edge of the patented snare plate is pulled upward putting the snare in full contact with the head. Snare plates
in the CP series are made using a special bonding agent between the plate and the coil that provides greater durability
and finer response compared to previous designs. Snare coils on CP series snare drums are now covered with a special
new finish that allows more of the materialfs tone to come through.

*Strong Snare Strings
Nylon strings are covered with a nylon braid for maximum strength and durability.
