hell Construction
-
Shell material: 7-ply Hybrid Maple — a combination of maple outer and inner plies with a wenge core

⚙️ Hardware & Mounting
-
Hoops: 3 mm aluminum die-cast hoops — ensure strong attack, smooth rim shots, and solid tuning stability
-
Lugs: Yamaha's signature hook lugs — reduce shell contact to allow maximum resonance and easier head changes
-
Mount: YESS III suspension system — isolates the shell vibration from hardware, maximizing sustain and tonal purity
-
Venting: Strategically placed vent for smooth airflow and controlled resonance
