Its 14-inch diameter and 5.5-inch depth provide a versatile profile for recording sessions, rehearsals, and live performance. The shell responds quickly to light strokes while retaining definition during louder passages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eResponsive Aluminum Shell\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 1.2 mm aluminum shell gives the RAS-1455 a focused character with fast attack and controlled sustain. Yamaha places the center bead on the exterior of the shell, creating a more open response than its conventional inward bead construction. This design helps the drum retain clarity during detailed patterns, ghost notes, and accented backbeats.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTwo Snare Wire Configurations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe drum arrives with a 20-strand snare wire fitted for a balanced combination of sensitivity and body. Yamaha also supplies an SG type 10-strand wire. This alternate configuration uses a reduced center section to encourage a crisper cutoff and tighter staccato response. Players can select the wire that better suits the session, arrangement, or playing style.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePurpose-Built Recording Custom Hardware\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNewly designed one-piece lugs and 3.0 mm aluminum die-cast hoops support stable tuning and focused rim response. A Q-type release strainer, DC3 type butt plate, 2.4 mm snare bed, and 45 degree bearing edge complete the shell design. REMO Coated Ambassador and Snare Ambassador heads provide a familiar playing surface and a practical starting point for studio or stage use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"YAMAHA CORPORATION OF AMERICA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53521854038310,"sku":"RAS-1455","price":639.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/9803\/0886\/files\/3650789.jpg?v=1784901985","url":"https:\/\/www.focusproaudio.com\/products\/yamaha-ras-1455-acoustic-drums-snare-drums","provider":"Focus Pro Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
