The thin Maple shell combined with the 5" depth gives the drum great versatility. You can tune it low and fat or crank it up and the 13" size makes it cut even more in a loud musical situation.

The Dave Weckl signature snare drums have a unique dual strainer design that uses snares of two different compositions. Dave prefers to have tight tension on the hi-carbon snares and loose tension on the stainless steel wires. This gives him the perfect balance of precision and an open "airy" sound to compliment his amazing technique.

The quick release, low contact lug makes it easier to change heads in the sudio and gives the drum a very wide dynamic range.

The Aluminum die cast lugs give you precise tuning while maintaining an open, warm tone. Using only 6 lugs gives accurate tuning with minimum metal on the shell.

Yamaha's legendary Solid Black is like no other. We hand-finish our drums using the same technique that is used on our grand pianos.
