EAD50 Electronic Acoustic Drum Microphone System
& DSU50 Stereo Condenser Mic

Roy Haynes Signature Snare Drum
Celebrating the legacy of jazz drumming legend Roy Haynes, this limited-edition signature snare drum features a meticulously hand-hammered 14" x 5.5" copper shell, an internal mute and one-piece SD3 lugs.
Produced by veteran craftsman at our Hamamatsu Japan factory, the Roy Haynes Centennial Snare delivers the warmth and depth of copper, while Yamaha DynaHoops and hi-carbon steel snares produce the pronounced "snap and crackle" that Roy's playing was known for.
Pricing and Availability
Please check with your local dealer for pricing and availability.
Production is limited to 35 units in the USA and 100 total worldwide.
