⭐ Shell construction

• Size: 24 inches in diameter × 18 inches deep

  Hardware & Features

  • Hoops: High-quality wood hoops, enhancing warmth and providing a focused attack.

  • Lugs: Yamaha’s signature hook lugs, designed to evenly distribute tension and reduce shell contact, maximizing resonance.

  • Mounting system: YESS-II (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System), allowing the shell to vibrate freely for optimal sustain.
