Ear-Catching Impact.
Uncompromising Character.

The Type-R line has always pursued a hard-edged tonal character coupled with an exceptionally sharp response. We have brought that philosophy to life once again with a 3mm-thick stainless steel shell.
With this model we have approached the pronounced overtones often associated with conventional stainless steel shells not as something to be eliminated – instead we have focused on how to transform this distinctive characteristic of these shells into a truly musical quality.

Rather than sounding overly aggressive or hysterical, the sound delivers a bold clarity – with the high and low frequencies pushed to the extreme. The result is a powerful low end and clear attack – combined with a controlled, focused resonance.

It provides deep, warm and sophisticated overtone characteristics with a vivid and colorful tonal response. Tuned to a higher pitch, its unique personality becomes even more pronounced, bringing out the presence and definition of every single stroke.

This unique instrument is not a drum designed for every genre or every player – and that is precisely what makes it so special. For drummers looking for a sound with real presence, this snare can become a secret weapon in their arsenal.
