What is included?
Roy Haynes Signature Snare Drum (14" x 5.5") The sound of jazz great Roy Haynes is embodied in this hand-hammered copper shell snare. With a versatile, refined tone, the snare is recorded with sticks and brushes, as well as using mallets with the snare strainer off.
- Sticks (strainer on and off) - Brushes (strainer on and off) - Mallets (strainer off)
Bamboo Snare Drum (14" x 6.5") Paper-thin sheets of bamboo are used to create single plies, six of which are used to form perfectly round shells with Yamaha's original "Air-Seal System". The result is a remarkably beautiful shell that produces a warm tone full of low-end.
- Sticks (strainer on and off)
FHP (fiberglass) Snare Drum (14" x 6") A precursor to the FRP range, the FHP's fiberglass material permits the utilization of thinner 3mm shells, which deliver a fat, dynamic sound with excellent playing response. The FHP uses the same material used in making Yamaha marimbas, xylophones, and tympanis. - Sticks (strainer on and off) - Hot rods (strainer on and off)
Dave Weckl Signature Model (14" x 5") One of a series of Dave Weckl signature snares featuring a dual-strainer design, this steel-shell model possesses a unique sound and 'crack'. - Sticks (strainer on) - Brushes (strainer on)
Mike Bordin Signature Model (14" x 6.5") With a partially hand-hammered 2mm copper shell, this snare features a thick, dark tone. With the power to cut through loud mixes, the snare also exudes enough warmth and sensitivity for almost any musical application. - Sticks (strainer on)
Where were the snares recorded?
The snares in this collection were tracked at Omega Studios. The room is the same as that used for the BFD Jazz & Funk, BFD Percussion, BFD B.O.M.B expansion packs as well as the BFD JEX and previous Yamaha-based expansion kits (BFD Oak Custom and BFD Maple Custom Absolute).
The snares are perfect for mixing with other expansions in the BFD library as they sound great and have a versatile tone that sits well in any mix.
Do you allow license transfers?
Yes, however:
- If you're the seller, you must contact us in advance of the sale. If you're the prospective second-hand buyer, you must check that the seller is cleared to sell. If in doubt, contact us.
- Review copies, NFRs (Not For Resale copies, sometimes used for in-store demos), etc., cannot be transferred under any circumstances.
- We reserve the right to refuse a license transfer request.
Once a transfer is authorized and the fee has been paid, the new owner is entitled to exactly the same upgrade paths and technical support resources as if they had bought the product new.
