All-maple shells give Tour Custom drums their warm, bright tone. These shells are designed with a 6 ply-5.6 mm / 45 degree bearing edge that adds the tonal depth, quick response and provides just the right amount of sustain.
Tour Custom drums sound great and play well in any musical style.
Beautiful Satin Color Finish
Our Tour Custom series features an exclusive satin lacquer finish, resulting in a beautiful colour toning merged with an elegant shiny surface. Compared to common gloss finish, the extra thin coating on the Tour Custom shells maximises the resonance of the carefully selected maple wood.
Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System - Y.E.S.S
YESS mounts are designed to minimise contact between the shell and the mount to deliver a wider dynamic range and longer sustain.
Inverse Dyna Hoop (2.3mm)
The 2.3mm inverse dyna hoop bends the tip inward to adjust overtones while playing. This gives a tighter sound making the shell’s original tone stand out.
Absolute Lugs
Absolute Lugs firmly secure to the shell with a single bolt thus minimising the number of holes in the shell. This sophisticated design reduces surface contact allowing the shell to resonate freely. Their durable design also accommodates high-tension tuning. Absolute lugs also feature an insertion plate inside of the lug, which acts as a locking mechanism to prevent tuning bolts from loosening.
Configuration: 18"x14" bass drum / 14”x13” floor tom / 12”x8” tom / tom clamp CL945LB
Please note that this kit comes with tom arm and floor tom legs ONLY.

One of the most recorded drum sets in history! The Yamaha Recording Custom Birch!
These Legendary Birch shells produce a lower fundamental tone than maple. Their crisp sound quality with short attack decay makes them optimal for recording situations. Topped off with the 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 in round and of uniform thickness while providing superior tone quality and durability..
Mounted toms and floor toms equipped with YESS Mounts
Long found on our high-end drum kits our original YESS (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System) allows attachment of the drum to the tom holder without the need of a hole in the drum shell for the rod to pass through. The YESS clamp is attached to the shell at the nodal point with two bolts so as to allow the shell to vibrate freely without degrading the shell's dynamic range and sustain. The nodal point is the location on a shell with the least amount of vibration allowing for the mount to have minimal affect to the resonance of the shell.

If you are looking for a kit with more attack and volume look no further. The Yamaha Hybrid Oak offers that and more!
Redefining the original sound of oak with a new hybrid shell, the new Live Custom Hybrid Oak enhances the dynamic range by accentuating its attack and projection and incorporates the traditional Japanese Uzukuri handcrafted shell finishing, creating a unique look that defines the expression of oak.
The Live Custom Hybrid Oak shell concept is borrowed from Yamahas 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 oak drums, Yamaha has enhanced the dynamic range of the new Live Custom by accentuating its attack and projection. 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 the entire shell is coated with a thin layer of black paint. The surface of the shell is sanded again before the final coating is applied in a process that emphasises the natural beauty of the oak grain. Dark Silver hardware delivers a dominating image further enhanced by black shell interiors. Thicker steel hoops offer a tighter sound and sharper response, and toms and floor toms are equipped with clear Remo Emperor heads, which are known for their deep sound and great durability.

What happens when you fuse the maple and walnut woods? The Mapex Saturn Series drum shells. Maple is a popular choice for drum shells the world over because of its tonal versatility and all-round warmness. Walnut bestows much fiercer properties, including fast attack and dark tones. Much harder than maple, it ensures pronounced projection for the shells, while bringing out the best of the maple's melodic tones. An electrifying fusion that makes these drums perfect for use in any setting.
Newly-added SONIClear bearing edges
Mapex's unique bearing edge technology ensures better contact between drum head and shell. This increased head-to-shell contact improves shell vibration and allows for greater resonance, as well as easier tuning. With a stronger and deeper fundamental pitch, this bearing edge profile allows you to enjoy the sonic nuances of the wood blend. The Saturn Series shells were designed to sing into the stratosphere.
SONIClear tom suspension for optimal resonance
Liberated tom toms. Toms aren't just another part of your drum kit. They're instruments in their own right, and Mapex's SONIClear tom suspension system embodies this notion. These low-mass holders preserve the vibrations from your heads and shells, allowing them to resonate with greater freedom. Whenever you strike the Saturn Series toms, you'll experience the very best of their wide sonic range, and nothing less.
Customised air flow system
Mapex's pursuit of drum greatness means that even the finer details are given meticulous consideration. Their Chamber Specific-Nodal Line Air Flow Venting technology ensures that the Saturn Series bass drums and toms are each allocated unique air hole placement. These vents are positioned strategically in alignment with the drum lugs to prevent interference with the shell's overall resonance.
Elevated drums for greater sonic separation
Coupled with the TH800 SONIClear tom holders, Mapex's Sonic Pedestal feet enhance the Saturn Series' tonal resonance even more. These rubber feet prevent contact between the floor tom legs and your playing surface. The steel legs rest on an elevated spring within the pedestal, eliminating vibration transfer and maximising resonance. Every feature is the result of painstaking, formulaic testing designed to empower your drums.
The Classic Saturn Sound just got even better, the latest Mapex Saturn series shell packs blend time-honored maple/walnut shells with bleeding-edge shell tech borrowed for the Black Panther Design Lab, along with jaw-dropping finishes to please a wide range of drummer tastes. Each piece in this set has been molded to meet the needs of stage and studio professionals. You get thin 6-ply hybrid shells crowned with Mapex's precision SONIClear bearing edges, Remo USA heads, and Mapex Power Hoops to deliver splendid tone and tuneability from day one. You also get Mapex's advanced shell venting, suspension tom mounting, and floating SAS floor tom legs for excellent note length and projection. Factor in those iconic Saturn Series badges and lugs and it's a clear winner of a drum kit.
6-Ply maple/walnut shells: Classic Saturn sound utilizing the thin maple-walnut foundation, 4-ply maple on the outside for clear projection, and a core or 2-ply walnut for big deep darkness and resonance both of which pack strong attack and rich sustain
SONIClear bearing edges: awesome tone and easier tuning, enough said really but the science is that this cut allows for the heads to sit a lot flatter on the bearing edge this results in better seating and stronger, deeper fundamental note, this widens the tuning range for players who like deeper toms and kick drums while producing purer musical pitches in higher registers
Hardware
Mapex Power Hoops: steel 2.3mm triple-flanged Power Hoops give the shells some weight and durability to survive the battering they shall inevitably receive
Air Flow Venting: the air vents are placed at the Nodal line with the lugs, as to not affect the resonance of the shells if they were placed in the center of the drum, this is borrowed from the Black Panther Design Lab. It gives each drum an open lively response and maximizes shell resonance
SAS static floor tom legs: sound and vibrations work on the principle "The shortest path between two points is a straight line". Mapex SAS floor tom legs feature a sharp 90-degree angle to increase the distance from the floor to the shell. This allows more sustain from floor toms instead of the note being absorbed into the floor, even the rubber feet act as a spring, elevating the floor tom off the floor maximizing resonance
SONIClear suspension mounts: these are low-profile mounts that prevent energy from the tom from being absorbed into the hardware and do not touch the tension rods in any way. this means the tom sustain never gets choked, heads stay in tune longer, and head changes are quicker with no need to remove shells from mounts

The Yamaha Absolute Maple Hybrid Shell Pack features high-quality hybrid maple shells, with an inner ply of wenge, sandwiched between plies of maple, offering a great balance of frequencies with clear, warm tones. The shells are ideal for any styles of playing, offering a consistently rich tone whether you are playing at minimum or maximum volume levels.
YESS III Tom Mount
Yamaha have implemented their advanced YESS III mounting technology, providing reduced acoustic dampening and allowing you to get the best sound out of your drums. The mounts allow the shells to vibrate more freely, bringing out the best of the shells natural sustain and volume.
Hook Lugs
The Yamaha Hybrid Shell Pack features classic hook lugs, offering effortless head replacement alongside precision tuning, and even high-tension tuning. The lugs were designed to maximise tone output from the hybrid shells, featuring a small form factor for minimal interference. With a polished chrome finish, the lugs match the rest of the shell hardware whilst complementing the overall appearance of the kit.
Bearing Edge Shape
The Absolute Maple Hybrid Shell Pack features a bass drum with a bearing edge angle different to that of the tom and snare shells. A 30°/R1.5 edge is used on the bass drum, offering enhanced low and mid frequencies for a more powerful sound to accompany the higher frequencies produced by the toms and snare. The combination of bearing edges results in a stunning tonal balance across the entire kit.
Perfect Foundation Setup
The Yamaha Absolute Maple Hybrid Shell Pack offers a foundation setup that can be finished with the hardware and cymbals of your choice and expanded with add-on drums and holders if you choose. When paired with high-quality cymbals and hardware, the Yamaha Hybrid Shell Pack provides a superb experience for drummers of any level, offering the high-quality components and features which professional drummers require.
The revolutionary "Halo" mount, a lateral, unique "under lug-line" suspension system, unlocks the freedom of full resonance and allows the drum to sing with an open, pure tone. The Adjustment Knob acts as a built-in Equalizer that can slightly dampen the resonance of the shell, producing a tighter and quicker decay. Whether you like to go dry in a jazz gig, or sound huge in a packed arena, the Saturn Evolution has the whole package for you.
