Title: Yamaha Drums and Products Thread
Post by: glynminded on February 28, 2007, 11:10:12 PM: Anyone here who owns a Yamaha Stage Custom Snare? ung 12x5? kung meron po maganda po ba tunog niya? kung wala po comments na lang po sa tunog nung snare itself in general... I'm planning on buying myself a 12x5 stage custom snare... as a secondary snare un na kasi pinakamura na 12x5 snare na nakita ko eh...

Post by: drumster on February 28, 2007, 11:18:59 PM: Try to check out Jonah Caling, the drummer of Rewind. They are Luke Mejares' current backup band. He's currently using a 5"x12" Stage Custom snare drum on gigs.

Lester (former drummer of Dimsum and Liquified Orange; don't know where he plays now) also plays the same snare drum on gigs. Master Otep Conception also used to own and play one, I think.

Fellow Pinoydrums brother and 9th Ave. drummer Marco Katigbak also owns one, I believe.

Post by: drumster on May 15, 2008, 05:25:04 PM: I believe 19 East has one in their snare drum collection. Its former owner is Paul Benitez, former drummer of South Border. Instead of the maple hoops, Paul had the one with 2.3mm triple-flanged hoops. I was able to play that drum a few times, and I like it. This is a great-sounding power piccolo snare drum. It has a good amount of warmth, crack and depth. I like this drum. This is perfect for groovy music.

Plus, with Steve Jordan being an active environmentalist, he asked Yamaha to use maple wood which are harvested from replanted forests, in order to preserve resources.

Post by: mondi99060451 on May 16, 2008, 05:39:42 PM: He switches snare in each song di ba? Ano kaya gamit niya sa vultures? Ganda ng tunog ng snare dun eh... album version at live... warm at halos wala atang overtones :mrgreen:

idol ko talaga si Sir Stevie!!!

Before him, si JJ Johnson talaga idol ko pero nalaman ko na si Steve Jordan pala main influence niya. They have the same groove, mas flashy lng si JJ Jhonson.

Meron pa atang ibang sig snares si Stevie aside from this beauty.

Steve Jordan also has a signature cocktail drumkit, also made by Yamaha.

Post by: intake on May 18, 2008, 03:59:01 PM: i know its good sounding and all, but that snare drum is just too pricey for me IMO
$470 in GC..madugo na sa atin yun diba? might as well buy a decent shell (with the snare parts, heads etc.) and assemble. better quality na yung shell, makakapili ka pa kung ano yung gusto mong ilagay sa snare drum mo at may possibility na mas mura pa siya dun sa sig. snare :lol: nasasayo pa din yan :-)
Title: Re: Yamaha Steve Jordan Signature Snare Drum
Post by: drumster on May 18, 2008, 05:07:31 PM: ^ Well, it's known that Yamaha Drums has a reputation for being more on the pricier side, especially their high-end models and Signature drums.
Title: Re: Yamaha Steve Jordan Signature Snare Drum
Post by: intake on May 19, 2008, 10:10:27 AM: i wonder kung gaano kalaki yung part ng Yamaha brand dun sa $470 na yun :lol:
id buy that if i was rich!
Title: Re: Yamaha Steve Jordan Signature Snare Drum
Post by: mondi99060451 on May 19, 2008, 12:51:50 PM: kung richie rich ako i'll buy this for sure!!! (sig snare ni idol eh!!!) pero minsan ko lang gagamitin hehhehe!!! ang sakit siguro sa dibdib pag nakantuhan mo yung wood hoops nito... ouch!!! mahal din siguro replacement hoops niyan!!! :mrgreen:

Post by: drumster on May 19, 2008, 05:20:30 PM: Yamaha's drums are still pretty much meticulously hand-made in a humble little factory in Osaka, Japan. Which is why I guess it's understandable that Yamaha's high-end drums are a bit more expensive than its Japanese counterparts Tama & Pearl, which uses assembly lines and modern machineries.
