A Warm and Woody-sounding Vintage-style Maple Snare!

The Yamaha VSD-1460 Vintage Series maple snare gives you the classic woodiness and warmth of a vintage drum, without the price tag of a vintage snare! The 14"x6" VSD-1460 Vintage Series snare provides real vintage-drum feel and sound, from the 4-ply shell (with 6-ply reinforcing rings) to the 8-lug hoops. Yamaha didn't sacrifice modern tuning reliability and optimum resonance, however, precisely cutting the bearing edges at a 60-degree angle for maximum head contact. Call your Sweetwater Sales Engineer today to find out more about the vintage vibe of the VSD-1460 snare!

Don't settle for less than true vintage sound
When you want a truly classic-sounding snare, do you settle for trying to tweak your modern-style drum? Classic sound isn't simply a matter of capturing an approximation of "vintage-style" sound; you want to get the essence of a vintage snare, and that includes feel. That's where the VSD-1460 Vintage Series snare shines.

Get classic tone and vibe from this snare
The 14"x6" four-ply maple shell with 6-ply reinforcing rings is modeled after some of the most popular vintage snare drums. The bearing edges are 60 degrees with a rounded profile for maximum contact with the head. This gives the drum a warm and woody tone, with great sustain. The snare beds are 2.7mm deep for wide dynamic response, allowing the snares to be very loose for that classic wet, funky sound, or tightened up for a crisp, dry snare sound.

Vintage-style hardware and hoops give you great sound and feel
Vintage Series snare drums are fitted with 8-lug, 1.6mm steel hoops to minimize the amount of metal on the shell and give the drum a "soft" feel. The lugs are the small, single-bolt design used on the Oak Custom series drums.
