Yamaha Stage Custom 14 x 5.5 Inch Snare Drum – Classic Birch Snap, Modern Performance

The Yamaha Stage Custom 14 x 5.5 Snare Drum is built to deliver crisp articulation, quick response, and a full-bodied crack that fits any musical context. At the heart of this versatile snare is a 100% birch shell, a tonewood known for its bright attack and cutting projection. With a six-ply, precisely formed shell, this snare translates stick response with incredible clarity, making it ideal for everything from rock and pop to funk and fusion.

The snare features triple-flanged steel hoops, which offer an open, balanced sound and are durable enough for any live or studio setting. Its 45° bearing edge with an R1 radius ensures quick head response and consistent tuning across a wide dynamic range. A 1.8mm snare bed helps shape a precise and snappy snare sound, enhancing snare wire sensitivity for tight articulation and controlled buzz.

Outfitted with B-type and P-type strainers on the release and butt sides, this snare provides smooth operation and reliable snare wire adjustment. Yamaha’s patented snare plate design ensures optimal contact between the 20-strand high-carbon steel snare wires and the drumhead, providing superior response and crispness at every volume level.

High-tension, one-piece lugs make this drum easy to tune and keep stable under heavy playing conditions. Durable braided nylon snare strings add strength and longevity, ensuring that the snare mechanism performs reliably under repeated stress.

Whether you're upgrading your main snare or adding a versatile auxiliary drum to your setup, the Yamaha Stage Custom Birch Snare delivers premium tone and performance at an accessible price point.
