Yamaha MS-9414 Standard SFZ 14x12 Inch Marching Snare Drum - Black Forest

The redesigned Yamaha MS-9414 marching snare was built to satisfy director and player requirements through extensive field testing and evaluations with top DCI and WGI performing groups and artists. Improved hardware makes it durable and lightweight with excellent presence and projection. The MS-9414 is a standard Sforzando (SFZ) with 14” diameter and 12” shell depth. Outstanding tone and dynamic response. Anodized hardware including top and bottom hoops.

Designed for articulation, projection, and performance

Renowned for its distinctive sound, wide dynamic range, and explosive rim shot, the SFZ marching snare drum incorporates structural innovations that permit the use of a high-tension Kevlar drumhead.

Maple Shell

Exclusive Air Seal system ensures a solid, consistent round shell allowing the augmented maple shell depth to provide a warm tone with excellent presence and projection that blends with any ensemble.

Reduced Weight

Hardware improvements and manufacturing reduced suspension ring height (1), and removing select material in the top and bottom high-tension hoops and suspension ring (2) reduced the weight without compromising durability or sound. The lighter SFZ minimizes stress on players throughout the most competitive performances.

Improved Snare Response

Additional air holes increase articulation and snare response without reducing volume and improve the player's performance experience.

New Top Hoop Shape

A larger radius at the top of the rim enhances rimshot tone and reduces stick damage.

Streamlined Tube Lug and Gravity Guard

Modeled after our concert snare drums, the lug post design, made of lightweight aluminum, creates a modern look and improves durability, while the revised gravity guard prevents the tension rod from slipping.

Aluminum Insert Ring

A snare-side, aluminum insert ring is standard and maintains a stable pitch even when high-tension tuning is used.

Heads

The top head is a Remo White Max type, and the bottom head is a Remo Clear Ambassador.
