LHB-2016UNT

The Yamaha LHB-2016UNT is a premium 20″ × 16″ bass drum from the Live Custom Hybrid Oak series, designed for drummers who demand both power and precision in live settings. Crafted with Yamaha’s unique hybrid shell technology, this drum blends the raw strength of oak with a central phenolic ply to produce a rich, full-bodied sound with cutting low-end attack and remarkable projection.

Finished in Uzu Natural Sunburst (UNT) using the traditional uzukuri wood-texturing technique, the drum not only sounds professional but also stands out visually with a textured, deep-grain aesthetic. With hardware enhancements like dark silver Absolute lugs, wood hoops, and bass enhancement weights, this drum is engineered to perform with clarity, punch, and stage-ready durability.

Features:

• Size: 20″ diameter × 16″ depth

• Shell Construction: 7-ply hybrid shell (oak outer plies with a phenolic inner ply) for increased projection and tonal clarity
