Akira Jimbo Signature Snare Drum
“It is one of the crispiest sounding snare drums in the world. The wood shell and wood hoop combination creates an organic and characteristic tone with a wide dynamic range. You will love this snare with just one shot.”
Akira started playing drums at the age of 18 at Keio University in Japan, where he became a member of the school’s Light Music Society Big Band. In 1980 he joined the group Casiopea, releasing over a dozen albums and touring internationally. Since the beginning of his career Akira trusts in the perfect quality of yamaha drums. His currant signature snare features an 8-ply beech sheel fitted with our Vintage Wood Hoops and Hi-carbon steel snares. This unique 13 x 7 inch snare produces a fat punch, with a warm, silky undertone – attributes, that makes Akira's snare the perfect choice for professionals all over the world.
