? Hybrid Shell Construction
-
Features Yamaha’s advanced 11-ply hybrid shell, approximately 10.3 mm thick.
-
Jatoba core plies provide deep, solid low frequencies.
-
Kapur middle plies contribute warmth and rich midrange.
-
Maple inner and outer plies enhance articulation and brightness.
-
This combination offers an expressive, musical tone with strong attack and full-bodied depth.
✂️ 30° Bearing Edge
-
Bass drum-specific 30° bearing edge with R1.5 profile.
-
Creates a punchy, focused attack with controlled, deep sustain.
? Undrilled Shell for Maximum Resonance
-
The “R” in the model name means undrilled, so there are no tom mounts on the shell.
-
Allows the shell to vibrate freely, resulting in greater resonance and openness.
