RBT-1210RW

The Yamaha RBT-1210RW is a professional 12″ x 10″ rack tom from Yamaha’s prestigious Recording Custom series, known worldwide for its crisp, studio-quality sound.

? Finish & Appearance

• Finish code: RW, meaning Real Wood.

• Features a beautiful natural wood veneer with a clear lacquer, showcasing the birch’s natural grain and giving it a classic, organic look.

• Chrome hardware (lugs, hoops, mounts) complements the natural wood finish, creating a refined and premium aesthetic.

?️ Shell Construction

• Material: 100% North American birch, a favorite for its bright, focused sound.

• Thickness: 6-ply (~6 mm), designed to deliver powerful projection and clear, punchy attack.

• Bearing edges: Precision-cut 30° edges with R1.5 radius — provide quick response, sharp attack, and easy, consistent tuning.

? Sound & Tone

• Produces a bright, clear, and focused sound with a strong midrange presence and tight low-end.

• The 12″ diameter gives a versatile tone — full-bodied but not overwhelming.

• The 10″ depth adds extra warmth and depth compared to shallower toms, making it perfect for players who want a slightly deeper, rounder tone while maintaining responsiveness.

• Quick attack and short, controlled sustain make it ideal for studio recording and live settings where definition and clarity are key.

⚙️ Hardware & Mounting

• Lugs: Weighted, high-tension, one-piece design, improving tuning stability and reducing unwanted shell vibrations.

• Hoops: 1.6 mm triple-flange steel hoops, providing open sustain and easy tuning.

• Mount system: Yamaha’s Y.E.S.S. (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System), which reduces contact with the shell to enhance resonance and sustain
