Our take on the Yamaha Live Custom Hybrid Oak 4-Piece Shell Pack

The Yamaha Live Custom Hybrid Oak is a professional 4-piece shell pack (bass drum, mounted tom, floor tom, snare) built for loud, live work. Its hybrid oak and phenolic shells give a deep, dark tone with strong low end, helped by Yamaha's Bass Enhancement Weight and 2.3 mm steel Dyna Hoops. The single-post Absolute lugs and Air-Seal staggered seams keep shells resonant and tunable across a wide range. It suits rock, metal and hard-hitting gigging drummers more than jazz players or anyone wanting a compact or budget kit.
