Yamaha Handcrafted Steel Snare 12" x 4" £147
Ignoring their slightly average look, we couldn't find a weak link among Yamaha's great sounding Handcrafted range

Pros
Great choice, nicely put together and some top sounds.
Cons
Not as exciting to look at as to listen to.
Verdict
By their very nature, a couple of the bigger drums were harder to tune than some, and the smaller dimensions of others limit their all-rounder appeal, but that's about it. On every level, this lot scores big - design and build quality, tonal performance and price are all spot on. The only problem you're likely to face is choosing which of the array you love best.
