Hardware & Features

• Hoops: 2.3 mm DynaHoops, providing focused attack and controlled overtones.

• Lugs: Low-mass single-post Absolute lugs — these allow the shell to vibrate more freely, enhancing resonance and sustain.

• Mounting system: Y.E.S.S. III (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System), which isolates the tom from stand vibrations and maximizes sustain.

• Hardware finish: Dark chrome, matching the modern and icy visual character.

? Sound Characteristics

• Tone: Warm and rich oak body sound, but with extra clarity and articulation thanks to the hybrid design.

• Attack: Sharp and focused — cuts through mixes easily, perfect for live performances and recordings.

• Projection: Loud and punchy, with strong sustain.

• Versatility: Works well across rock, pop, fusion, metal, and modern studio settings.
