Our flagship PHX series drums radically changed drum design using a special blend of new found Asian woods to deliver an amazing tone that has gained great acclaim from drummers around the globe. The major component in the mix and the wood that gives these ultra high-end drums their characteristic warmth, is a wood called Kapur.
The sound of Kapur is now available in a brand new series of drums— the new Club Custom.
Made from 100% Kapur the Club Custom drums provide musicians with a new tonality for creating great music. Warm and dry they play well with a wide variety of musical styles. Sound balance is great making them perfect for use in the recording studio, and they have a soft, mild character that lays down exceptionally well behind vocals. Besides sounding great, Club Custom drums look great too with three special “Swirl” finishes and two “Matte Wood” finishes to choose from. Club Custom drums offer a fresh, unique sound that opens up a whole new range of tonal possibilities for the drummer.
We didn’t want to wrap up these great sounding drum shells in a covering that would affect there superb resonance.
So we created three new colour finishes inspired by vintage wrap patterns and Steve Jordan.
It was in 2011 when Jeff Beck discovered Veronica in the internet and instantly got in contact asking Veronica to join his band. Veronica´s inimitable drumming style balances progressively nuanced concepts with blistering chops and relentless groove. Her sound is a percussive force that’s always in demand.
With his band the “Tower of Power” David Garibaldi is among the most influential Funk & Soul musicians worldwide. We talk to the master of funk drumming and receive valuable tips on Dave´s tuning technique, his career as a musician and check out his current Yamaha kit.
We aren’t biased, Yamaha artists are BRILLIANT! Below is a snap shot of which huge stars are using Yamaha this month. Who has recorded using Yamaha IN YOUR EARS, and who is touring with Yamaha gear IN YOUR FACE! Be it a performance on TV, or a live gig – play spot the Yamaha!

Y.E.S.S.
YESS mounts offer minimum shell contact to provide a richer dynamic range and longer sustain.
Small Lugs
Separate type small lugs minimize contact between the shell and lug so the shell can vibrate freely, maximizing its sonic potential.
Triple Flange Hoop (1.6mm)
1.6mm triple flange hoops deliver a more open sound.
Floor Tom Bracket
Floor toms feature lightweight vertical brackets designed to withstand hard play.
Bass Drum Legs
Yamaha’s original L-shaped bass drum legs prevent the bass drum from sliding forward during play.
Bass Drum Claw Hooks
Claw hooks on the bass drum deliver a classic look that defines the attitude of the Club Custom.
R-Version Bass Drum
R-Version shells (20”/22”/24”), which are not equipped with a tom holder base for drummers who choose to mount toms on separate stands rather than on the bass drum, are also available. These shells produce a more open and natural sound without the unnecessary mount.
Heads
Heads are attached at the factory so when you get your drums they both look great and sound great right out of the box.
Bass Drum Heads
The Remo Powerstroke 3 head on the batter side of the bass drum features a ring mute that dampens unwanted overtones for greater low-end tone. The front head is the same great looking Smooth White Powerstroke 3 found on PHX series bass drums.
Tom Heads
Remo Coated Ambassador heads deliver a warm tone that sounds great with a wide variety of musical and playing styles from Rock to Jazz and recording to live
