That's a lacquer sparkle finish, not a wrap.  Like all Maple Custom Yamaha's, this drum is warm sounding, with a hint of attack and edge mixed in.  A great all around, everyday snare, this drum sounded great right out of the box - it tunes up real easily , and then requires very little attention.  Nothing fancy on it except the finish.  Steel triple flanged hoops, simple snare strainer, and single-sided chrome plated small lugs make this a player's ultimate instrument.  Works great for all styles of music.
