Yamaha start with the selection of wood. The finest maple, birch and beech that
can be found. From there it goes to the craftsmen and women whose dedication has
made some of the best technological developments in the music industry today.
Yamaha's Air-Seal System transforms plies of selected wood into perfectly round
drum shells, enhancing the tonal quality of the wood. Combined with hardware,
created by the craftsmen and women to work flawlessly and enhance the tone of
the wood, you get drums of exceptional quality.

Yamaha's top of the range Maple Custom offers the same Air Seal System construction,
this time using 7 ply maple for toms and 10 ply for the bass drums. The gold minimal
lugs are positioned to allow the drum to vibrate freely whilst special nylon inserts
prevent tension rods becoming loose during play.
Fitted to these drums is the YESS mounting system which provides minimum shell
contact to increase the drums resonance. These mounts connect to Yamaha's ball
mount system which employs a large resin ball to provide players with extremely
flexible and stable tom placement.

Probably the most recorded drum in history, the Recording Custom has
set the benchmark
for excellence for over 20 years.
The all birch shells produce a lower fundamental tone than maple. Their
crisp sound quality with short attack decay make them optimal for recording
situations.
Yamaha's Air-Seal System shells feature select birch wood cut in plies,
positioned with staggered diagonal seams and sealed together with evenly
distributed air pressure. This process ensures that every drum shell is round
and of uniform thickness
while providing superior tone quality.
