100% maple for powerful deep tones.

The Tour Custom Bass Drum features a 7-ply maple shell with 60-degree bearing edges that provides clear fundamental tones, delivering warm resonant sustain and clear low-frequency impact. A great choice is you're looking for a powerful, well-defined deep kick drum.

Air Seal System
All Yamaha wood drums have one thing in common. Yamaha's craftsmen create every drum shell using their exclusive staggered diagonal seam Air Seal System just as they have since 1967. Each two or three-ply master ply is cut to length to very precise tolerances with a diagonal cut on each end. The diagonal seam in the drum shell will not separate, eliminating the need to fill gaps in the bearing edge with filler putty. These plies have glue applied and are then put into the mold by hand, one master ply at a time. The craftsman then inserts an air bag into the mold and inflates it, clamping the shell with even pressure 360 degrees around. This process creates a shell that is strong, starts round, and stays round for many years.

60 Degree Bearing Edges
All Tour Customs have 60-degree R2 bearing edges. The bearing edge has a rounder profile so that there is more shell to head contact. This gives the Yamaha drums clarity in the low-end fundamental and added warmth.

Kick Drum Spurs
Sturdy yet simple in design, the Yamaha kick drum spurs hold the bass drum firmly in place even under heavy playing. They are height adjustable using a drum key, and there are steel spikes that can be exposed when extra hold is needed. They fold up compactly for transport and are marked with angle indicators so that you can set them up the same every time.
