Yamaha CSM-1450AII Intermediate 14" x 5" Concert Snare Drum

A revised shell design achieves beautifully warm tone that also has outstanding snap and clarity. An 8-ply maple shell is constructed using the patented Yamaha Air-Seal System™ ensuring the shell stays perfectly round. The Yamaha Air Seal system is one in which an air bag is placed inside the shell and inflated at high-pressure to put even pressure on the shell’s inner surface to create perfectly round shells with uniform thickness. The thicker shell facilitates even finer detail and expanded expressive capability.
