David Garibaldi on Yamaha Signature Snares
(Yamaha | Posted 2002-04-03)

Tour of Power drummer David Garibaldi notes, "The sound of my signature snare drum comes mainly from the funk tradition. I've always liked the high pitched 'crack' of a snare back-beat, but also like a lot of sensitivity and clarity for ghosted strokes. One major asset of my snare drum is versatility. Even though it was designed with specific music in mind, it can be tuned in many different ways, making it ideal for many other styles. The snare drum is the major component of my drum set concept and therefore is the main component of my sound. The DG snare gives me all of the characteristics I like in a snare drum, plus... it looks SO cool, you gotta have one!..
