AMB-2416JGS

The Yamaha AMB-2416JGS is a premium 24″ x 16″ bass drum from Yamaha’s flagship Absolute Hybrid Maple series. This series is renowned for its advanced hybrid shell construction, outstanding resonance, and refined hardware design — all crafted to deliver professional-level tone and stage presence.

?️ Shell Construction

• Hybrid Shell Design: Uses an 8 mm shell that combines a dense wenge core sandwiched between outer and inner plies of North American maple.

• Sound Benefits: The wenge adds low-end depth and focused projection, while the maple keeps the tone warm, smooth, and versatile.

• Bearing Edges: Precision-cut 30° bearing edges with a slight R1.5 round-over help create a powerful yet controlled low-end punch.

? Hardware Features

• Hoops: 3 mm aluminum die-cast hoops — lighter than zinc but strong and rigid, ensuring stable tuning and a more open, resonant tone.

• Lugs: Low-mass hook-style lugs minimize shell contact, allowing better shell vibration and a more organic sound.

• Mounting System: Equipped with Yamaha’s YESS III system (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System), which isolates the shell to maximize resonance and sustain.

• Spurs: Durable, adjustable bass drum spurs designed for stability and minimal shell interference.
