The Yamaha Recording Custom Series is an acoustic drum kit built with all-birch shells. The birch gives a focused, articulate attack, a rich midrange and controlled sustain.
Yamaha's Y.E.S.S. mounting system is designed to minimize shell vibration so the drums can resonate freely. The weighted high-tension lugs are meant to improve tuning stability and projection. The 30-degree bearing edges are cut for head-to-shell contact, sensitivity and a wide tuning range.
The kit comes in gloss finishes and a matte Real Wood finish. The design is sleek and minimalist.
