? Hybrid Shell Construction

• Built with Yamaha’s advanced 11-ply hybrid shell, approximately 10.3 mm thick.

• Features a Jatoba core for powerful low-end response.

• Kapur plies provide warm midrange character.

• Maple inner and outer plies add brightness and definition.

• This hybrid design delivers a wide dynamic range with deep, resonant lows and clear attack.

✂️ Special Bass Drum Bearing Edge

• Uses a 30-degree bearing edge with R1.5 profile, specially tuned for bass drums.

• Produces a strong, punchy attack with a focused, controlled sustain.

? Undrilled Shell for Maximum Resonance

• The “R” in the model code means undrilled — no tom mount holes on the shell.

• Allows for full, open shell vibration and a more natural, powerful bass drum tone.

⚙️ High-End Hardware

• Equipped with hook lugs, which minimize shell contact and help enhance resonance.

• Features 3 mm aluminum die-cast hoops, giving precise tuning and strong projection.
