14"x6.5" Recording Custom aluminum snare drum, providing a deeper, dry, and articulate tone with enhanced body.
Studio-Perfect Sound. Aluminium Precision. Designed by Steve Gadd.
The Yamaha RAS1465 Recording Custom Snare Drum is a modern classic, created in close collaboration with the legendary Steve Gadd. Built with a 1.2mm aluminium shell, this 14×6.5″ snare delivers incredible clarity, short and dry sustain, and impeccable articulation—making it an ideal choice for studio recordings, live gigs, and session work alike.
Aluminium offers a unique tonal profile: drier than steel, brighter than wood, and effortlessly controlled. The deeper 6.5” shell adds fatness and low-end presence, while Yamaha’s high-precision Q-type strainer, die-cast hoops, and center bead design ensure that every stroke speaks clearly, no matter the tuning.
Part of Yamaha’s elite Recording Custom series, this snare embodies top-tier craftsmanship and sonic performance trusted by professionals worldwide.
