Yamaha Tour Custom 5-Piece Fusion Shell Pack with Suspended Tom Sakura White

Yamaha Tour Custom 5-Piece Fusion Shell Pack with Suspended Tom 

The Yamaha Tour Custom 5-Piece Fusion Shell Pack includes a 22" x 17" bass drum; 10" x 8 and 12" x 9" mounted toms, 14" x 14" suspended floor tom, and 6" x 14" Black Onyx snare drum; TH-945 triple tom holder, CL-945 tom ball clamp, and CSAT-924 cymbal stand attachment. Cymbals and hardware not included.Air Seal System All Yamaha wood drums have one thing in common. Yamaha's craftsmen create every drum shell using their exclusive staggered diagonal seam Air Seal System just as they have since 1967. Each two or three-ply master ply is cut to length to very precise tolerance with a diagonal cut on each end. The diagonal seam in the drum shell will not separate, eliminating the need to fill gaps in the bearing edge with filler putty. These plies have glue applied and are then put into the mold by hand, one master play at a time. The craftsman then inserts an air bag into the mold and inflates it, clamping the shell with even pressure 360 degrees around. This process creates a shell that is strong, starts round, and stays round for many years.100% Maple Shell Tour Custom drum shells are 100% maple. The bass drum is 7-ply 7mm and has a warm, deep tone; the toms are 6-ply 6mm, with lots of warmth and resonance and have a wide tuning range. 60 Degree Bearing Edges All Tour Custom drums have 60-degree R2 bearing edges. This is something new for Yamaha on a maple shell drum set. This bearing edge has a rounder profile so that there is more shell to head contact. This gives the drums clarity in the low-end fundamental and added warmth.Bass Drum Spurs Sturdy, yet simple in design; the bass drum spurs hold the bass drum firmly in place even under heavy playing. They are height adjustable using a drum key, and there are steel spikes that can be exposed when extra hold is needed. They fold up compactly for transport and are marked with angle indicators so that you can set them up the same every time.YESS Tom and Floor Tom Brackets All Tour Custom toms and floor toms use the YESS (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System). The toms have a mount attached to the shell at the nodal point by two bolts. This system allows the drum shell to vibrate freely for maximum sustain without restricting with where the placement of the drums. The floor tom brackets are small, minimal contact mounts that are located at the nodal point. They hold the legs securely in place without restricting the vibration of the shell.Ball Clamp and Triple Tom Holder Tour Custom drum sets includes the TH-945 triple tom holder with Yamaha's tom ball clamp that gives you 360-degree rotation. The ball, made of a super-hard resin, is held in place by a single bolt making angle adjustments on the toms quick and easy. The toms lock firmly in place at virtually any angle you want. This versatile tom holder lets you mount any combination of up to three toms and/or cymbals by using either the standard or the long version of our tom ball clamp and CH model cymba

The matching wood snare drum has body, yet plenty of high end and is very articulate at all dynamic levels.Universal Size Drums Tour Custom drums are available in Yamahas universal sizes. This ratio of diameter to depth makes these drums versatile enough for any musical situation. The bass drums have low-end punch but are responsive, the toms have lots of power, yet great sustain. The 6" x 14" matching wood snare drum has a very wide tuning range and great sensitivity so it is right at home on the road playing large venues or around town on a club date.60 Degree Bearing Edges All Tour Custom drums have 60-degree R2 bearing edges.

Yamaha Absolute Maple Nouveau Snare Drum Black Sparkle 14X5.5 Inches

Yamaha Absolute Maple Nouveau Snare Drum Black Sparkle 14X5.5 Inches

Quick-release, minimal-contact lug casings are revolutionary in design. They attach to the shell by snapping onto post anchored at the nodal point minimize contact and maximize vibration. They also make head changes faster and easier. Shell is all maple with an exterior finish of high-gloss sparkle lacquer for greater resonance and flash look. Interior finish seals shell from humidity and enhances tone. The lightweight aluminum die-cast hoops offer accurate tuning and also allow the drum to open up much like a triple-flanged hoop without the choking associated with zinc die-cast hoops. This is an extremely dynamic drum with a full, wide-open tone.



Yamaha Vintage Series Snare Drum 14 X 6 Vintage Black

Yamaha Vintage Series Snare Drum 14 X 6 Vintage Black

The Vintage Series 14"x6" 4-ply maple shell with 6-ply reinforcing rings is modeled after some of the most popular vintage snare drums. The bearing edges are 60° with a rounded profile for maximum contact with the head. This gives the drum a warm, and woody tone, with great sustain. The snare beds are 2.7mm deep for wide dynamic response, allowing the snares to be very loose for that classic wet, funky sound or tightened up for a crisp, dry snare sound.This Vintage Series snare drum is fitted with 8-lug, 1.6mm steel hoops to minimize the amount of metal on the shell and give the drum a soft feel. The lugs are the small, single-bolt design used on the Oak Custom series drums.


Yamaha Musashi Oak Snare Drum See-Through Black Oak 6X12 Inches

Yamaha Musashi Oak Snare Drum See-Through Black Oak 

Named for a 16th-century samurai, the rugged Yamaha Musashi Oak Snare Drum is constructed in 7-ply oak and produces aggressive, bright, and remarkably loud sound that cuts through just about any mix.
