PHXT-1208MGBCS

The Yamaha PHXT-1208MGBCS is a premium 12″ × 8″ rack tom from Yamaha’s flagship PHX (Phoenix) series, designed for professional drummers seeking top-tier sound and aesthetics.

• Shell Construction: Features Yamaha’s unique 11-ply hybrid shell, combining Jatoba (dense, powerful low-end), Kapur (warmth and fullness), and North American maple (clarity and resonance).

• Size: 12 inches in diameter and 8 inches deep — offers a balanced blend of punch, warmth, and sustain, making it versatile across genres.

• Bearing Edge: Rounded 30° edges enhance warmth, low-end presence, and easier tuning.

• Hoops & Hardware: Equipped with lightweight 3 mm aluminum die-cast hoops for crisp attack and stable tuning. Hook lugs with internal locks ensure smooth tensioning and minimal shell interference.

• Mounting System: Uses Yamaha’s YESS II isolation mount, allowing the shell to resonate freely for a more open, natural sound.

• Finish: Stunning Matte Gloss Black Cherry Sunburst (MGBCS) — deep cherry red fading into black edges, with a subtle matte gloss that highlights the wood grain beautifully.
