PHXT-1008MGBCS

The PHXT-1008MGBCS is a premium, handcrafted rack tom from Yamaha’s flagship PHX series. It combines sophisticated looks (Matte Gloss Black Cherry Sunburst), advanced hybrid shell construction, and professional-level hardware to deliver exceptional tone, projection, and dynamic sensitivity.

Hardware & Features

• 3 mm aluminum die-cast hoops — strong yet lightweight, giving focused attack and stable tuning.

• Hook-style lugs with internal locks — precise tuning, minimal shell contact for improved resonance.

• YESS II mounting system — isolates the tom for full, open sound.

• 30° bearing edge — smooth, controlled attack and warm, singing sustain.

  Shell Construction

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

    • Core: Jatoba (dense, strong low-end)

    • Intermediate plies: Kapur (adds warmth and body)

    • Outer plies: North American maple (clarity and brightness)
