Hardware & Features

• Hook lug system: Yamaha’s unique hook lugs allow precise, stable tuning and minimal shell contact to preserve resonance.

• Wood bass drum hoops: Improve warmth and roundness in the sound while adding classic aesthetic appeal.

• YESS II (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System): While more common for tom mounting, the philosophy is carried over to reduce stress on the shell, ensuring maximum resonance.

  Shell Construction

  • 11-ply hybrid shell, ~10.3 mm thick:

    • Core: Jatoba — dense and hard wood providing powerful, deep low-end punch.

    • Intermediate plies: Kapur — adds warmth, depth, and smooth midrange.

    • Inner and outer plies: Maple — enhances overall clarity and articulation.
