Yamaha Roy Haynes Centennial 14×5.5in Copper Snare Drum

Yamaha Roy Haynes Centennial Snare Drum Overview

The Yamaha Roy Haynes Centennial Snare Drum is designed for jazz drummers and collectors valuing touch, history, and control. Built around a hand-hammered 1.2mm copper shell, this snare delivers a fast, articulate response with a naturally warm edge. The 14” x 5.5” format keeps things familiar under the hands, making it easy to slot into modern jazz, bop, or more open, dynamic settings. Dyna Hoops on both sides help maintain even tension, while the 45° bearing edges support clarity at softer dynamics.


Each drum is carefully assembled in Japan and finished with a Roy Haynes Centennial badge, marking a production run limited to just 100 worldwide! What's more, a built-in inner mute lets you quickly dial back overtones when needed - handy for studio work or tighter acoustic spaces!

Roy Haynes’ career and contribution to music was one of historic length and depth. His style foundational enough to earn him a lifelong nickname – ‘Snap Crackle’ – within a decade of his first forays into professional jazz drumming. A foreshadowing of foundational impacts to come.

It’s rare for a musician to have so much of a hand in so much of a genre’s history, outside fast-moving innovators in niche sub-genre spaces. So, when someone like Roy Haynes comes along, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime thing. Roy didn’t just have an active hand in the development of jazz but did so over eight decades – and in so doing, had an active hand in the development of modern drum technique and philosophy.
