Tour Custom drum shells are 100% maple. The bass drums are 7-ply 7mm and have a warm, deep tone; the toms are 6-ply 6mm, with lots of warmth and resonance and have a wide tuning range. Tour Custom drums are manufactured in Yamaha's universal sizes. This ratio of diameter to depth makes these drums versatile enough for any musical situation. The bass drums have low-end punch but are responsive, the toms have lots of power, yet great sustain. All Tour Custom drums have 60-degree R2 bearing edges, this bearing edge has a rounder profile so that there is more shell to head contact. This gives the drums clarity in the low-end fundamental and added warmth. All Tour Custom toms and floor toms use the YESS (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System). The tom has a mount attached to the shell at the nodal point by two bolts. This system allows the drum shell to vibrate freely for maximum sustain without restricting with where the placement of the drums. The floor tom brackets are small, minimal contact mounts that are located at the nodal point. They hold the legs securely in place without restricting the vibration of the shell. This is my Yamaha maple Tour Custom. It is a four piece Tour Custom with an added Rock Custom floor tom.It is literarily as new, having gigged five times and recorded twice. I've used it with a Ludwig Black Beauty and the whole kit sounds awesome and is a dream to play.The bottom heads are all brand new Evans G2 coated (see pictures).The Protection Racket cases are all brand new apart from the bass case.The 14" Rock Custom floor tom was added for live work but fitted so well sonically with the rest of the kit, I used it for recording.
