Features
Oak /Phenolic Sheet Hybrid Shell (PAT.PEND)
The Live Custom Hybrid Oak shell concept is borrowed from our flagship PHX and Absolute Hybrid Maple kits, which feature a dense phenolic sheet sandwiched between two sheets of Oak ply. Always a pioneer in the field of of Oak drums, Yamaha has enhanced the dynamic range of the new Live Custom kits by accentuating their attack and projection.
UZUKURI Finish
The traditional Japanese finishing technique known as "UZUKURI" has been modified for use on drum shells. In this procedure, the soft areas in the wood grain are sanded and then the whole shell is coated with a thin layer of black paint. The entire surface of the shell is then sanded again before the final coating is applied, in a process that emphasizes the natural beauty of the Oak grain.
Bass Enhansement Weight (PAT.PEND)
Featuring a design styled around the Absolute Lug, the weights studded in the bass drum at the lug points attenuate low-mid frequencies, resulting in a tight, focused bass drum sound.
Dark Silver Hardware and Black Finished Shell Interiors
Dark Silver hardware delivers a dominating image further heightened with the black shell interiors
Absolute Lugs
Shells feature Yamaha's exclusive Absolute Lugs. Their sophisticated design adds a touch of class to the drums.
Die-Cast Bass Drum Hooks
Bass drums feature designed die-cast hooks, which provide noise free function through the use of an insertion plate.
Floor Tom Blacket

YESS III Mount
