Recording Custom Snare Drum Comparison with Steve White
Музыка
For the first time in its history, Yamaha Recording Custom Series snare drums are available in a variety of Brass, Stainless Steel & Aluminium with sizes that compliment all performance styles. After repeated evaluations of our design by Steve Gadd, we have created a ground breaking new range of snare drums that is now available now at your Yamaha Drums Dealer.
In the following video Yamaha Artist Steve White sits down in the studio to compare the individual sound characteristics of each snare drum.
Stainless Steel:
The 1.2mm Stainless Steel models are available in 2 sizes: 14"x5.5" with 20 strands (RLS1455) and 14"x7" with 25 strands (RLS1470), both equipped with 2.3mm Dyna Hoops. The steel version is a very sensitive and versatile rock drum with cutting sound.
Brass:
The 1.2mm Brass Snares are available in 3 sizes: 14" x 5.5" with 20 strands (RRS1455), 14" x 6.5" with 25 strands (RRS1465) and 13" x 6.5" with 20 strands (RRS1365). All models are equipped with 2.3mm Dyna Hoops. Yamaha Brass snares are known for their warm ring.
Aluminum:
The 2 Aluminium models are available in 14"x5.5" with 20 strands (RAS1455) and 14"x6.5" with 25 strands (RAS1465). Both models have a 1.2mm Aluminium shell and 3mm Aluminium Die-Cast Hoops. The Aluminium drums tend to be slightly drier than the other shells, so you hear every nuance of you playing.
New Center Bead:
To date, Yamaha’s snare drums have traditionally had the metal center bead on the interior of the drum. However, we have taken the step of fixing the center bead to the outside of the drum to produces a more open sound than our conventional drums, for crisp, articulate performance.
Steve Gadd´s Choice: 14” x 5.5” Steel Snare:
The new Recording Custom Series 14” x 5.5” Stainless Steel snare drums include Steve Gadd's choice of 10-strand snare wires for further sensitivity producing a more natural tone with greater dynamics.

They all sound great.... my favorite? Brass
Great comparison-very precise and well-explained.
Really love aluminum. I’ve got an older Yamaha Japanese 6.5 in aluminum, and it looks like they are still rockin it. The throw off looks excellent as well.
So awesome to see newer footage of this legend.
GREAT video. Not usually a fan of steel, but that 5.5" x 14" sounds KILLER.
Great vid! Totally diggin' the 14x7 Steel and the 14x5,5 Aluminium.
I bought my recording custom steel 5.5 snare in the strength of this video and it’s awesome! Beautiful drum. I use it for all different types of gigs and recording . Highly recommended! 🥁👌🏻
Great comparison snare video! Enjoyed it, David Curtis Drumming
Aluminium 14x5.5 sounds best to me. Pretty tight sounding
Excellent comparison. I have listen to a ton of these videos trying to figure out which Recording Custom snare to buy. This one has me convinced on the 5.5 x 14 brass model. Thank you!!

Was it the right choice?
Good representation of Yamaha's new line of metal shell snares. I like that the 5.5 depth is still being offered. If only Yamaha would make 8 lug versions.
Looks like he's just come off the snooker table! Nice drumsounds. Thanks

Half I'm not the only one!
awesome video! the recording quality (mic setup etc.) was perfect, really the first ytvideo i found that showcased the different characteristics of the shells. wood was missing thou. also you could for example pick one shell material and make a comparison with die cast and wood hoops... also different sizes.... so much work but i tell you i would pay for that video!
Brilliant video from Steve. Really good idea at the end to let us compare the various shell types and depths etc

Glad you enjoyed it
wow, just learnt that the deeper the drum the longer the sustain!
Que gran estilo tiene Steve!!!! Es el mejor. Pero me gusta verlo sentado tras una premier!!!!
Still one of my favourite drummers.
Great format for snare comparison, really clear. All of them were nice, but JEEZ when the aluminium 14x6.5 dropped... that was fat! Thanks!
i like this whole demo...everything about it.......
I really like the Steel 14x7!!
13” brass and 5-1/2”x14” Aluminum wow!
I'll take one of each thank you very much.
I think I like the 14x7 steel. Would have liked to have heard a little more of the 14x6.5 brass to compare, though.
Great snare drums and great drummer. I prefer the steel 14x5,5
Across the board the 14 x 5.5 size does it for me. My favourite? Brass 14 x 5.5 without a doubt!!
@YamahaDrums Just wanted to let you know, that I’m a huge fan of your products and that I proudly use them since i started to play drums and also recommended you to others who want to start to play an instrument just because I heard your Keyboards and Bass Guitars already in person and they were usually as great as we all know your products. Please don’t stop manufacturing Drums as I don’t ever want to play any other brands Drums. ❤️

How’s the craftsmanship?
Just wondering the kick drum size and depth thumpity thump?🤘✌️
Great demonstration...Steel seemed the cleanest sound here, but wished bronze was included. It’s the pick of the metal snares...
14x7 steel sounds very lively to me.
What size kick was that?
Alla Minion snare 👍
Are they all tuned high..?
I like aluminum 14*6.5.
Both Brass sound the best to me.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I have YRC 14x5,5 Brass snare drum. It's brillant snare - sound is so great, so explosive. It is also very sensitive instrument - I can play silently and loud, according to need. Ghost notes are very selective and audiable. And it looks beautiful. :)

Mateusz Gawron Official Same here, and a live custom( same size) these two really cover it all,
Brass 14x6.5 jazz
Yamaha make some of the greatest drums.
That dancing logo....
Wish the alumunium was offered in 13 x 6.
14x7 steel.
dude your technique though
3:03
Brass!
3:04 3:15 3:21 3:32
STEEL...14x5’5.....probably the cheapest too ?
Is it me or is aluminium quite ringy and steel rather dry?
14x6,5 Brass wins.
Only thing i wish after these samples are just your hand .
Why Yamaha doesn’t use rubber gaskets under the lugs? I think they know the secret.
Still can't understand why he was let go by Weller. Ridiculous
Not" so long ago.
It's. Ot so long ago this guy was singing the praises of Mapex.

For starters, play the same type of cadence (less the DCI schtick) across all of the featured products and demo the drums consistently. For example, why play snares-off with just one drum? Why no side-stick comparison? Seriously, with very little effort, this showcase can be much more edifying.
Just another company ripping off LUDWIG! Where are these made? Taiwan?!

And Ludwig has drums made in Taiwan as well. You can get a Taiwanese BB or USA BB. I doubt you would hear or notice the quality workmanship if you didn't know where they were made. It's all about quality control where ever they are made. I had Supraphonic that the finish kept coming off. Quality control?
