Description

Roy Haynes’ career and contribution to music was one of historic length and depth. His style was so foundational it earned him a lifelong nickname – ‘Snap Crackle’ – within a decade of his first forays into professional jazz drumming. A foreshadowing of foundational impacts to come. It’s rare for a musician to have so much of a hand in a genre’s history, outside fast-moving innovators in niche sub-genre spaces. So, when someone like Roy Haynes comes along, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime phenomenon. Roy not only influenced the development of jazz but did so over eight decades – developing and innovating modern drum technique and philosophy.

What would have been Roy´s 100th Birthday, Yamaha Drums have decided to honor life and legacy with a special Centennial Signature Snare Drum. Hand Hammered and carefully assembled by their staff in Japan, the 14”x 5.5” copper shell is the core of this unique instrument. Equipped with 45° /R2.4 bearing edges and Dyna Hoops guarantee a warm and dynamic sound that can easily be adjusted by the inner mute.

Limited to 100 pieces worldwide, each snare comes with a special brochure including a message and signature from Roy.
