Description
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.
