Product Detail

Yamaha MS-9214 Sforzando Snare Drum
Yamaha Band and Orchestra 14x12 SFZ Sforzando Marching Snare Drum

Shell
The 6-ply birch shell provides bright attack with body and ensures strength snare-side tension.

Air-Seal System
The Air-Seal System way of manufacturing ensures the shell starts round and stays round; an in-round shell tunes clearer and provides a pure fundamental tone.

Suspension Ring
The extra thick (thickest you can find) suspension ring stays round even under the torque of Kevlar heads. It eliminates stress on the shell and is tall enough for use with a plastic drum head.

Rims
The rims are made from die-cast, high-strength aluminum in a solid design. They stay round even with the high torque of Kevlar heads and provide even tuning, yet they are lightweight and durable.

Stabilizer Power Posts
The Stabilizer Power Posts maintain alignment of the tube lugs to make bottom head changes easy. They support the tube lugs to withstand stick-clicks and accidental hits, and also cut shell overtones that blur articulation.

Strainer System
The strainer on the SFZ snare drum is a quick release system that allows quick and easy bottom head changes.

Tension Rods And Washers
The 6 mm. tension rods with double steel washers, ensure smooth and stable tuning at high tension without breaking.

Feet
Three protective feet protect the snare mechanism and bottom head.

Gravity Guards
Gravity Guard tension rod locking nuts maintain setting of bottom head tension rods, and slow fallout of unevenly tuned rods.

"Great!!" by Corey Johnson

Hometown: Peotone, IL

I'm a great fan of the University of Illinois Marching Illini Drumline. When I decided to buy my own marching snare I thought to myself, "What better snare to buy than the one the ID uses, it must be good." And it is. Granted I don't play it to it's limits but it works great. If your a student looking for a drum to play around on, this ones for you. If your a professional drumline tech, this is the drum for you.

"Good" by Westington

Musical Experience: Snares, lessons from Cavies perc caption head
Style of Music: Anything with a 3 letter abbreviation, MTS, SFZ, FCS, etc.

It's a good drum. My high school bought these drums in '95, and they got pretty beat up, but still looked respectable, considering them being set down on concrete and all. They still look and sound fine. This model drum (Though not always a 14") was used by the Cavies, U of I, and UK up until around 2000/2001.I still think all Yamaha drums are of the best quality available, the MTS is way to go if you can afford the extra penny. This makes for a good hack drum in your woodshed, though!

We have these snare drums at our high school, and they totally rock. I would recommend these drums to anyone, even the cost conscious. I dare you to try these drums.

"Sound good, durability bad" by Johnathan

The sound of the SFZ is second to none. Being a drum section leader of my high school band, I have noticed visible wear and tear from the SFZs. They could be a little more durable.

"Beautiful" by Drummer

Musical Experience: Drumline member
Style of Music: any
Hometown: Dickson, TN

This drum by itself with the right heads is dangerous enough. With a full line, it's down right dangerous. The sound that comes from these drums is amazing. It kind of seeps through the rest of the ensemble right into your ears. The articulation is great and it's really durable. It's a beautiful drum. I would recommend this drum to any school or any person looking to purchase a drum of their own.
