20” x 17” bass drum from Stage Custom series that, as with the introduction of Stage Custom in 1995, once again sets the standards of value and sound. It inherits a 1.5mm thick, 100% birch wood shell construction – a classic in the realm of high-class drum kits. Moreover, with its six-ply structure it accurately conveys the vibrations produced at the impact surface, achieving performance that overwhelms anything in its class. The drum features the Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System (YESS) that provides minimum contact of hardware with shell and connects that hardware at the nodal point of the drum – the point at which it will not interfere with shell vibration. Nylon bushings on rod clamps afford maximum stability. A tribute to Yamaha design technology, the original ball mount and clamp has gone through very few modifications over the years. A large, ultra-hard resin ball sits in an attractive chromed housing, held in place with a titanium ergonomic wing bolt. It is the ultimate drummer-friendly mount, offering non-slip positioning virtually anywhere the drummer can imagine. Additionally, it permits tuning of the bottom head by simply rotating the drum. This drum also adopts die-cast claw hooks with rubber insertion plates to reduce noises and bass drum legs that have the stoppers to make setting easier. It is equipped with Remo UT Ebony P3 (front) and Remo UT Clear P3 (batter) heads and steel triple flange hoops with separate 1.5 lugs. Cranberry Red colour design.
