Description
The Yamaha TMT-1208BTS is a 12" × 8" rack tom from the Tour Custom Maple series, designed to deliver rich, warm tones with strong projection—perfect for both live performance and studio recording.
Its 6-ply, 5.6 mm all-maple shell produces deep, resonant lows, smooth mids, and a clear, articulate attack. The 45-degree bearing edges provide excellent sensitivity, making it easy to achieve precise tuning and dynamic responsiveness.
Outfitted with 2.3 mm Inverse DynaHoops, the tom offers focused, punchy sound with controlled overtones, ensuring a clean, professional tone. The Absolute single-post lugs minimize shell contact, enhancing resonance and improving tuning stability even under heavy playing.
The Y.E.S.S. (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System) mounting system allows the shell to vibrate freely, delivering maximum sustain while offering flexible, secure positioning.
Finished in a striking Butterscotch Satin lacquer, the TMT-1208BTS highlights the natural beauty of the maple grain and provides a modern, elegant look that stands out on any stage.
