Named for a 16th-century samurai, the rugged Yamaha Musashi Oak Snare Drum is constructed in 7-ply oak and produces aggressive, bright, and remarkably loud sound that cuts through just about any mix.

Before I even bought this drum, I tried it out at two different stores, and I loved the sound. It even still had the factory heads still on it (I've later changed those to a Remo Emperor -- I've got the 6.5" model). This was pretty rare because snare drums usually don't sound good at all (to me) at stores. I bought this snare to replace the factory snare on my Yamaha Stage Custom kit. I've been so pleased with this that I use it at all my gigs. It's got a great "crack" to it and it cuts through the music really well. Not to mention it looks great and has good stage presence, since I wanted to stick with wooden snares.
I have been a drummer for about 8 years and needless to say played alot of different snare drums. Out of all the wood snares i've owned or even played such as the Pearl McX Masters, Pork Pie Little Squealer, Orange county maple snare just to name a few this drum sounds better behind the kit, in the audience and records better by a long shot for my taste. It's got a great look that will go with any kit. I Own the 13 X 6.5 so i cant speak about the others. One thing I will disagree with the other reviews is I would only use this as my main snare i don't think it's an accent snare nice deep rich tone with tons of pop. I keep mine pretty tight. I as many other drummers believe that your snare and your cymbals are really what matters. Tune up any drum set and play it properly with the right mics it will sound fine, but if your going to spend the money buy this snare. Great projection and great tone.... oh and Don't waste the money on the Steve Jordan signature snare while it's nice the deminsions are similar and the oak on the musashi has a ton more crack the warmth on the steve Jordan is there but spend the extra 300 on a nice hit hat. Just Sayin!
I would recommend this snare drum to anyone playing with jazz, or classic playing styles due to its well defined tone and dynamic nature. It can be used for pretty much any genre but I would have to say I have had some issues with the bottom and top tension rods backing out after a few heavy sets, even with proper technique. over all the drum is very well worth the money spent and will treat you as good as you treat it. I am not dissatisfied at all.
