AMT-1614GCS

hell & Construction

• Shell composition: 7-ply hybrid maple with a wenge core (approx. 6.2 mm thick).

• Core detail: The wenge inner plies give added projection and low-mid punch, while the maple adds warmth and musical tone.

• Bearing edge: 45° with slight rounded outer edge (R1.5) for articulate attack and warm, focused sustain.

• Interior finish: Clear, smooth lacquer, allowing the natural wood to resonate freely.

⚙️ Hardware & Mounting

• Hoops: 3 mm aluminum die-cast hoops — provide solid tuning stability, precise attack, and a clean, focused rimshot.

• Lugs: Yamaha's signature chrome hook lugs — minimal shell contact for better resonance, plus easier head changes.

• Mount system: YESS III suspension mount — isolates shell vibration for maximum sustain and tonal purity.

• Vents: Carefully positioned air vent for balanced airflow and controlled resonance.
