Yamaha Review: David Garibaldi Signature Snare Drum

History:

Purchase: Bought at Pierre-Yves Musique in Valleyfield, Qc. I was looking for the Dave Weckl 1990 snare drum sound. Since, he was using a Yamaha Brass 14x3½ piccolo at the time, I went for the Garibaldi model. Paid 650$ Can

What I Like About This Yamaha David Garibaldi Signature Snare Drum: Fast, Dry, Bright, Clear and open sound. Works great live or in the Studio

What I Do NOT Like About The Yamaha David Garibaldi Signature Snare Drum: Yamaha's prices

Yamaha David Garibaldi Signature Snare Drum Quality Rating: 14x3½ brass shell with cobalt blue plating. All hardware is chrome plated. Rims are Zinc die cast for more focused sound
