The Absolute Hybrid Maple is Yamaha's upper-mid shell pack, built from a wenge core sandwiched between maple plies. That hybrid shell is the same idea Yamaha uses in its flagship PHX line, and it gives a clear, punchy tone that holds together from soft playing to hard hitting. This four-piece configuration covers a 10 and 12 inch rack tom, a 16 inch floor tom and a 22 inch kick, so it suits rock, pop and gospel players who want one kit that records and gigs well. Against all-maple kits at this level it sounds a little drier and more focused, with more attack in the low end.

Owners of the Absolute Hybrid Maple line praise its clear, punchy tone and solid build, and many describe it as a pro-level kit at a step below flagship money. Complaints tend to be about the cost of adding a snare and hardware, and about the weight of the larger drums.
The Yamaha Absolute Hybrid Maple is a 4-piece drum set with 10", 12", 16" and 22" drums. It comes in a Silver Sparkle finish on the outside, with a vintage finish inside the shells.
The shells use the hybrid shell technology from Yamaha's flagship PHX series. A core ply of wenge, a very hard and heavy wood native to Africa, sits between plies of maple, a wood known for its clear tone. The design gives a rich, clear tone across the full dynamic range, from pianissimo to fortissimo.
The drums use hook lugs, and the toms attach with the Y.E.S.S.
