The Yamaha Recording Custom Studio Set Solid Black Shell Set offers an exceptional drumming experience with its North American birch construction. This instrument, developed in collaboration with legendary drummer Steve Gadd, combines traditional craftsmanship with optimal sound. The 6-ply construction provides a warm, resonant sound that is convincing in any musical style. Equipped with Remo Ambassador Coated Heads, the Set delivers a clear and defined sound that shines both live and, above all, at Studio . Thanks to the innovative YESS mount system, optimum resonance is achieved without unwanted transmission.
The premium features of the Recording Custom Shell Set Solid Black underline its status as a top instrument for professional drummers. The Hi-Tension Lugs and the 30° shell ridge contribute significantly to precise and stable Tuning , while the Bassdrum hooks made of solid die-cast material offer the Bass Drum an exceptional aesthetic and functionality.
Steve Gadd prefers a 20″ Bass Drum with a lifting option for his recording Custom kit, which includes the same feature. With a Bass drum that does not rest on the floor, interference that is otherwise not uncommon is effectively avoided and the resonance of the shell is supported in the best possible way.
This drum set is characterized by its solid black finish, which is not only visually impressive but also emphasizes the natural properties of birch. With these well-thought-out details and high-quality workmanship, the Recording Custom Shell Set Solid Black sets new standards in terms of sound quality and playability.
