Yamaha Yamaha Rock Tour 4-Piece Drum Shell Pack with Matching Snare Drum

Designed from the ground up as affordable, high-quality Yamaha drums with an edgy look.
This Yamaha Rock Tour 4-Piece Drum Shell Pack includes a 22″ x 18″ R-Version kick drum, 12″ x 8″ rack tom, 16″ x 15″ floor tom, and a 14″ x 6″ matching snare drum.

Big Leaf Mahogany Drum Shells
Known for its great beauty and durability, big leaf mahogany has been used for centuries to craft high-quality wood products. The wood delivers a rich and warm mid-low range tone with a short, natural decay. These Yamaha drums also use 100% reforested environmentally controlled material.

R-Version Kick Drum
For drummers that prefer an open, fat sound Yamaha’s “R-Version” kick drum shells are designed with no tom mounts to maximize the drum shell’s tone potential.

YESS!
The tom drum shell is equipped with Yamaha’s original YESS mount, which minimizes mount-to-shell contact—to enhance the Yamaha drum’s resonance, increase dynamic range, and produce longer sustain.

Floor Tom Legs
Large vertical floor tom brackets are fitted for drummers who play with intensity.

Kickin’ Front Head
The kick drum head is emblazoned with a prominently positioned Yamaha logo mark that looks sharp and is easy to spot even when the Yamaha drums are positioned at the back of the stage.

Pinstripe Drumheads
Tom and floor toms are fitted with Remo Pinstripe Heads for massive punishment and durability.

If you have your sights set on becoming a rock drummer, it’s important that the drums you are playing will help you reach your goal. The Yamaha Rock Tour Series drums that comprise this drum shell pack are the perfect choice, delivering a solid, powerful sound with sharp attack that will cut through and get you noticed. Hardware and tom drums offer quality inherited from Yamaha’s high-end kits, and the sets provide excellent durability and performance.

Cymbals and hardware not included.

Solid drum set. The Yamaha Gigmaker drum set is a great first step for the beginner drummer and even intermediate drummers alike. Yamaha shells are high quality, which means even their lower priced drum sets like this one can get some good sound projection. Change out the factory heads and really open them up. Having played a few different Yamaha entry level kits, I can definitely say that these kits make for a sound investment. Set yourself up with a low price cymbal pack and some low priced, Sound Percussion drum hardware, and your in the whole set up for cheap.

Yamaha Stage Custom Nouveau 5 Piece Fusion Drum Set

The Yamaha Stage Custom Nouveau 5-Piece Fusion Drum Set is a great set for many types of drumming genres . The shells are high quality, and the kit includes Nouveau lugs that are attached to the shell by fiber-reinforced composite bolts at 2 points by a unique floating design that reduces vibration damping. Rack toms are Yamaha’s Enhanced Sustain System (YESS) mounting system that 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. Good stuff for keeping the sound truer. The ball-clamp triple tom holder gives total freedom in positioning and superior stability. The bass drum includes matching wood hoops and heavy duty hexagonal bass drum spurs.

Set Includes: wood snare with Nouveau lugs. 8-ply birch (outer ply), Philippine mahogany, and falkata shell. YESS tom mounts on all toms. Air Seal System shells. 1.6mm triple-flange steel hoops. Nouveau lug design. Matching wood bass hoops. Sturdy hexagonal bass spurs. 22" x 17" bass drum. 10" x 8" and 12" x 9" toms. 16" x 16" floor tom. 5-1/2" x 14" wood snare. 2-CS745 cymbal holders. HS740 hi-hat stand. SS740 snare stand. FP7210 bass" pedal. TH945A tom holder.

Yamaha makes quality drumsets and have been doing it for a long time. They create many orchestra instruments as well and you can tell they keep quality running at maximum on all of the different lines of instruments. I’ve played on Yamahas before and love the sound of these drumsets. They have great attack and resonate very well. The shells are very strong. This particular set is a good introductory set for the first time player as well as a seasoned vet. The natural wood is a thing of beauty on Yamaha instruments and drums.
