The nights are drawing in, the temperature is dropping and the days are getting shorter. What’s better than snuggling up and listening to some awesome music to cheer yourself up, or getting yourself down to some sweaty gigs and seeing some live music.

Using Yamaha's Air Seal system for the first time allows the use of oak in a drum shell. As in our Maple and Birch series, this process delivers a shell that's perfectly round, with uniform thickness and excellent durability. The bass drum shell is 7-plys while the toms and floor tom shells are 6-plys. All shells throughout the entire range deliver a solid fundamental and powerful sound. These small, oval-shaped lugs are easily attached to the shell with a single bolt. This means minimum lug to shell contact allowing the shell to deliver maximum tone. Long found on our high-end drum kits our original YESS (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System) mounting system is on all Oak Custom toms and floor toms. Oak Custom is available in four High-Gloss Hand-Buffed finishes: York Honey Amber (AMO), Musashi Black (MSB), Red Oak (ROK), Silver Sparkle (SLS)
