YAMAHA / DAMS1460SLS

This snare drum inherits the hybrid shell from the top-of-the-line PHX Series, featuring a wenge core sandwiched between maple. It combines maple’s bright, warm tone with a solid, focused sound, allowing versatile stick play. Hook lugs enable easy head replacement, and the compact shell maximizes resonance, making it a snare worthy of the Absolute name.

■Hybrid Maple Shell
The hybrid shell structure inherited from Yamaha's flagship drums, the PHX Series. The shell's central core is made of strong African wenge wood, sandwiched between two layers of maple. This hybrid construction enhances the bright, warm sound characteristic of maple with a firmer, more powerful sound, achieving a wide dynamic range from midrange to bass. Absolute Hybrid Maple clearly expresses the sound any drummer desires, from pianissimo (pp) to fortissimo (ff).

■Hook Lugs
All shells are equipped with hook lugs. This allows for quick and easy head changes, while also ensuring robustness and accurate tuning for high-tension tuning. The lug base is designed to minimize the contact area, maximizing the shell's resonance.

■Newly Developed Strainer
The newly designed strainer is highly durable and provides high stability even when the snare (sounding wire) is turned on and off during performance.

■2.7mm Snare Bed
The 2.7mm snare bed is deeper than the conventional 1.8mm snare bed, accurately capturing the response of the snare (sounding wire) and accurately responding to the player's desired subtle nuances.

■High-Carbon Steel Snare
Uses a high-carbon 25-strand short snare (sounding wire). It produces a powerful resonance.

■Aluminum Die-Cast Hoop
3.0mm aluminum/10-hole design. Unique attack and decay. Powerful resonance and tasteful tone. Crisp rim shots.
