※ Please refrain from price negotiations. Includes case. YAMAHA MSD13DW – Dave Weckl 1st Signature / 13×5 Serial No. 001● (First of the first lot) To prevent any issues, the first digit of the serial number is hidden, but it is definitely a number in the teens. I didn't intend to sell it, but due to its low usage, I decided to offer it for sale in case someone would appreciate it. Please understand that I may suddenly remove the listing if it becomes necessary for tours or recordings. This MSD13DW is the first Yamaha snare drum that Dave Weckl put his heart into, and this particular drum is exceptional, with a serial number in the teens. It's likely one of the first ones made, almost in the prototype stage. However, please check the photos for details, as it has been used a few times in recordings and has some plating peeling on the hoops. ▼ Reasons why it's different from a regular MSD: 1. The initial wood and parts quality are on another level. The first lot has completely different shell wood hardness and dryness compared to later models. Even though it's a 13x5, it has a long sustain and a thick pitch, achieving both "the tightness of a 13" and the presence of a 14". ■ 2. The strainer sensitivity is exceptionally high (unique to the early models). The "breathing" of the snares is incredibly natural, picking up both ghost notes and flat notes beautifully. ■ 3. High reproduction of mid-range tension and "snap" of the attack. It doesn't feel thin, light, or narrow, which are typical drawbacks of 13" snares; instead, it achieves the presence of a 14" in a 13" model. ■ 4. Character that cannot be replaced by the current Weckl model. The current signature model has a "refined, modern" sound. In contrast, the first MSD13DW is more raw and has thicker overtones. 【Sound Image】 ・Tight, but not thin ・Overtones, but not harsh on the ears ・Exceptionally clean ghost note articulation ・Bouncing phrases connect comfortably ・Excellent for fusion, AOR, and smooth jazz ・Also suitable for rock and pop The first MSD13DW, and with a serial number in the teens. Honestly, I don't think you'll find this level of quality on the market anymore. I hope to pass it on to someone who will cherish it.
