RBB-2216RW

The Yamaha RBB-2216RW is a 22" × 16" bass drum from Yamaha’s flagship Recording Custom series. Finished in the striking Real Wood (RW) lacquer, this drum combines a warm, natural aesthetic with Yamaha’s legendary birch shell sound — designed for drummers who demand precision and punch both on stage and in the studio.

✅ Key Features

• Shell:

  • 6-ply, 100% North American birch.

  • Known for bright attack, focused low end, and controlled sustain — making it ideal for recording applications.

• Bearing Edge:

  • 30° precision cut.

  • Improves articulation and enhances head-to-shell contact for clear definition.

• Lugs:

  • High-tension, one-piece weighted lugs.

  • Provide excellent tuning stability and reinforce the drum’s low-end response.

• Hoops:

  • Matching wooden bass drum hoops add warmth and visual consistency.

• Mounting & Hardware:

  • Yamaha’s Y.E.S.S. (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System) minimizes shell contact, allowing more natural resonance.

• Heads:

  • Comes fitted with Remo PS3 batter and front heads for a balanced, punchy tone right out of the box.
