Description
The AMF-1816VN embodies Yamaha’s modern hybrid design approach: a large, expressive floor tom that delivers a fat low-end while remaining articulate and musical. The Vintage Natural finish showcases the beauty of the wood, making it as striking visually as it is sonically.
Hardware & Features
-
Hoops: 3 mm aluminum die-cast hoops — known for their light weight and excellent tuning stability while keeping a more open, musical sound than traditional zinc die-cast hoops.
-
Lugs: Low-mass, hook-style lugs — reduce shell contact to maximize resonance and allow easier head changes.
-
Mounting System: YESS III (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System) — isolates the shell to allow it to vibrate more freely, improving sustain and dynamic response.
-
Floor Tom Legs: Adjustable and stable with rubber feet; designed to minimize ground contact and allow greater shell vibration.
-
Ventilation: Strategically placed vent holes for optimal airflow and tonal balance.
-
Drumheads: Comes fitted with Remo Clear Emperor batter and Clear Ambassador resonant heads.
