Bearing Edge

In 40 years of product development, Yamaha has found four wood snare drum bearing edge designs that produce unique tonal character and depth. Sharp edges deliver a snappy tone with excellent response and rounded angles produce a rounder, thicker tone. Varying the thickness of the top radius allows for further distinction. Using different bearing designs on the top and bottom of the snare is also effective in modifying the tone.
