The world’s largest touring and music festival supply companies state that Yamaha Drums and hardware are the most requested and reliable available, which inspired our design team in Japan to create the Tour Custom maple traditional satin series. Continuing the design legacy of our original absolute series, These new drums combines the projection and expressive capability of all-maple shells with the beautiful grain of us maple inside and out, and are available at an economical price.

100% Maple Shell

All-maple shells give Tour Custom drums their warm, open tone. These shells are designed with a 6-ply, 5.6 mm / 45-degree bearing edge that adds tonal depth and quick response and a great balance of snare sensitivity and wide, dynamic range. Finished with a beautiful satin lacquer that maximizes the sonic potential of the maple shell, Tour Custom snare drums provide a classic Yamaha maple snare sound with perfect sensitivity for any genre of music.

Inverse DynaHoop

The 2.3 mm inverse DynaHoop controls the natural overtones inherent to all-maple drums and focuses the fundamental tone of the shell creating a comfortable, solid back beat and smooth cross stick perfect for any room or studio.

Absolute Lug

Yamaha absolute lugs with single-point mounting provide the perfect balance of open tone with controlled attack.

P-Type Strainer

Compact, lightweight strainer with a smooth, simple and reliable design, and dual snare tension adjustment for fine snare fine-tuning.
