Hardware & Features

• Y.E.S.S. II (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System) mounting system:

  • Isolates the tom from vibration, allowing maximum shell resonance.

• Hook lugs:

  • Reduce shell contact, making tuning easier and promoting open tone.

• Aluminum die-cast hoops:

  • Provide focused attack and consistent tuning without choking the shell.

• High-end finishes and hardware options, including chrome or gold.

  Shell Construction

  • Hybrid 11-ply shell design:

    • Center core: Jatoba — a very hard, dense wood providing deep, powerful lows.

    • Middle plies: Kapur — helps produce warmth and punch.

    • Inner and outer plies: Maple — adds high-end brightness and musicality.

  • Shell thickness is carefully varied for each drum size to maximize resonance and tonal balance.

  • 30° bearing edges, custom-cut per drum to enhance articulation and tuning range.
