8200 Series Field-Corp Multi-Toms
Yamaha's Field-Corps multi-toms deliver a pure, focused tone that is maximized by a deeper, more balanced set of multi-toms.
These toms are equipped with a lug that utilizes an arch-shape design which allows the shell to vibrate freely thus delivering
greater tone. The Field-Corps multi-toms are also equipped with a 2.3mm thick, steel Ultra Hoop rim that is specially designed
by Yamaha. Its profile protects the bearing edge from mallet sweeps, which is especially important as the rim height lowers.
The
multi-toms also utilize a high-strength aluminum reinforcement ring inserted just below the bearing edge to maintain shell
integrity especially when high-tension tuning is used.
Air-Seal System Shells
All Yamaha marching
multi-toms are made using Yamaha's patented Air-Seal System which ensures that the shells start round and stay round: an in-round
shell tunes clearer and provides a pure fundamental tone.
45 Degree Bearing Edge
The 45� bearing
edge allows each drum to speak clearly creating precise articulation.
8" 10" 12" 13" 14" Shells
6-ply birch shells enhance mid-range tone. A high-strength, aluminum reinforcement ring inserted
just below the bearing edge maintains shell integrity. This exclusive Yamaha design allows for extreme, high-tension tuning
without the risk of warping.
Additionally, since the wood bearing edge of the drum, not the reinforcement ring, contacts
the drum head, a quality transfer of vibration energy occurs offering a pure and consistent sound.
Enhanced MTP
Enhanced Maximum Tonal Projection (MTP) cut offers an articulate sound and a focused fundamental perfect
for precise projection of tone in competitive marching situations. Extensive research into the cut has resulted in a design
that delivers maximum performance from the shell while providing optimum balance between each of the toms. The Enhanced MTP
multi-toms are 1" to 1.5" deeper than previous Yamaha models.
6" Shell
The 8-ply birch shell on the 6" multi-tom (MQ-8206) maintains shell integrity without a reinforcement ring
and clearly projects upper register tuning.
Aluminum Die-Cast Lug Design
The light, die-cast aluminum lugs are designed with a unique arch-shaped center. This
Yamaha original design decreases surface to surface contact between the shell and lug permitting the shell to vibrate freely.
This in turn results in greater tone production. The 8200 lug designs are 50% lighter and 12% stronger than the 8100 lug design.
The arched lug design allows the shell to breathe while reducing weight.
Tension Rod
5.4mm steel tension rods provide easy, consistent tuning without adding unnecessary weight. Double steel
washers allow for a smooth tuning adjustment at any tension level.
Rims
The 2.3mm steel Ultra Hoops with unique inward profile help protect the bearing edge from mallet sweeps. The rims
also ensure true tuning and shape retention, even under extreme tension and heavy rim shots.
Configurations
Field-Corps multi-toms are available in multiple configurations including small and large trios, quads,
quints, and standard sextets as well as the new Yamaha SUMO toms. The SUMO configurations feature a flat-cut 8" tom that can
be used to replace the 6" drum in both quints (MQT-80234) and sextets (MQT-680234). SUMO toms are available only with the
RM-TVHBPT Biposto Tenor Carrier and RM-68 6/8 spacer set by May .
Yamaha Field Corps Aluminum Tubular Carriers By May
have a patented lightweight, ergonomic design and are the optimal carrier for comfort. These carriers are lift front and are
adjustable to fit the smallest student to the largest.
