Yamaha, Solid Black Recording Custom Snare Drum 14x8, RBS-1480SOB

The Yamaha RBS-1480SOB is a premium 14" x 8" snare drum from Yamaha’s renowned Recording Custom series, designed in collaboration with drumming legend Steve Gadd. Featuring a 6-ply (6 mm) North American birch shell, this drum delivers a crisp, focused attack, strong low-end, and exceptional clarity — ideal for both live and studio settings.

Its extra-deep 8" shell provides a fuller, more powerful sound with enhanced projection, while still retaining excellent articulation. The 30° bearing edges with R1.5 radius ensure fast, sensitive response and easy tuning across a wide dynamic range.
