Shell Construction

• Hybrid 11-ply shell design, Yamaha’s most advanced:

  • Core: Jatoba (dense hardwood for tight low end and enhanced projection).

  • Middle layers: Kapur (warmer tone, balanced mids).

  • Outer and inner plies: Maple (bright, resonant, and responsive).

• Shell thickness: ~10.3 mm.

• Built using Yamaha’s Air-Seal System, ensuring a perfectly round, stable shell.

⚙️ Hardware Features

• 3 mm aluminum die-cast hoops, finished in gold — lightweight but rigid for sharp attack and stable tuning.

• Hook lugs in gold: designed for minimal shell contact, maximizing resonance and making head changes easier.

• Y.E.S.S. II mounting system (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System): isolates shell vibration from the mount for pure tone and extended sustain.

• 30° rounded bearing edges, shaped specifically to enhance warmth and tom sustain.
