Yamaha, RBT-1210SFG Recording Custom Tom 12x10 Surf Green, RBT-1210SFG

The Yamaha RBT-1210SFG is a high-end 12" x 10" rack tom from the legendary Recording Custom series, designed for drummers who demand professional sound and standout looks.

? Finish & Style

• Finish code: SFG, meaning Surf Green.

• A bold, retro-inspired green lacquer finish that makes the drum visually striking on stage or in the studio.

• Chrome hardware (lugs, hoops, mounts) contrasts beautifully with the bright green shell for a clean, premium look.

?️ Shell Construction

• Material: 100% North American birch.

• Shell thickness: 6-ply (~6 mm), providing powerful projection, bright tone, and focused attack.

• Bearing edges: 30° edges with an R1.5 rounded radius, helping achieve crisp attack, strong fundamental note, and smooth tuning.

? Sound & Tone

• Produces a bright, punchy, and focused sound, characteristic of the Recording Custom series.

• The 12″ diameter delivers balanced warmth and fullness.

• The 10″ depth gives extra body and roundness, making it great for melodic tom work and deeper fills.

• Quick attack and controlled sustain make it ideal for recording and live performances where clarity is essential.

⚙️ Hardware & Mounting

• Lugs: One-piece, weighted, high-tension lugs improve tuning stability and reduce unwanted shell resonance.

• Hoops: 1.6 mm triple-flange steel hoops for an open yet controlled tone and easy rim shots.

• Mount: Yamaha’s Y.E.S.S. (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System) minimizes shell contact, allowing greater resonance and natural sustain.
