OAK Custom

OAK Custom 

Following in the footsteps of our Birch, Maple, and Beech drum series, Oak shows great promise as a drum shell material. A solid fundamental delivers a powerful sound while its character allows for a unique shell size line up. Beautifully grained, this hardwood creates a drum with stunning looks.  

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)
