Yamaha Absolute Maple Hybrid Snare 14"x6, Silver Sparkle #SLS

Expression and dynamics makes up the foundation of the new Absolute Maple Hybrid Drums from Yamaha. This was made possible by Hybrid Shell Technology which has already successfully delivered results in the high-end PHX series. The Absolute Maple Hybrid shells are made of maple and wenge, offering an exceptional high dynamic range and are capable of reacting with absolute precision to each strike.

The Shell Construction

The Absolute Hybrid Maple drums are made mostly of maple, supported by a middle layer of wenge, a very hard and heavy wood famous for its very clear and precise sound. The combination of both woods deliver a saturated and clear sound which isn't lost even at extremely quiet or extremely loud volume levels. The Absolute Hybrid Maple drums ensures for an exceptional dynamic and expressive power.

Hook Lugs

The Hook Lugs have always been a reason for the popularity of the Absolute series drums and are naturally also equipped to the Absolute Maple Hybrids. These innovative lugs allow head exchanges in a fraction of the time as before as they can be simply unhooked. As a result the tuning screws no longer need to be completely removed. This saves time as well as nerves especially when time is critical.
