Yamaha Product Overview

Widely regarded as the most recorded drum range in history, the iconic Yamaha Recording Custom Series was instrumental in shaping the modern drum kit as we know it today. It became the only choice for many world-leading drummers due to its focused rich, warm and pronounced tone that was easy to use and tune.

Working with legendary drummer Steve Gadd, we've re-imagined the Recording Custom Series for today's artists. Designed to give a refined, focused sound with an enhanced rounded and deeper tone, the result is an easy-to-use and easy-to-tune drum kit that re-defines the classic signature sound. Recording Custom is suitable for any style of drumming in all situations.

The revamped modern design retains the traditional essence of the Recording Custom. In order to maximize the attenuating properties of the birch wood, we’ve increased the weight of the lug, further enhancing the artist’s expressive power and reducing undesirable noise from the shell without using a mute. This ensures optimum sustain for the core sound, producing a crisp, articulate tone.

In addition to their punchy power, birch shells are known to reduce unwanted noise and prevent interference when drums are set up side-by-side. The unique sonic characteristics of birch wood ensure that each stroke is clearly delineated, making it widely considered to be the ideal choice for recording environments.

Steve prefers a 20 inch lifted bass drum, so we adopted this specification. We reduced interference from the floor to maximize the resonance of the shell, and increased the length of the pedal beater rod, centering it precisely to ensure absolute accuracy during performances. This lifted bass drum produces a more punchy sound and accentuates the sound produced in the core of the shell.

Toms and floor toms are equipped with coated Remo Ambassador Heads, which are known for their warm clear tone and sound open resonant sound quality. Bass drums are fitted Smooth White PS3 with Yamaha Logo head and Remo PS3 Coated batter head (18" Bass Drum batter side features a Remo Coated Ambassador.)
