Recording Custom

I samarbete med den legendariske artisten Steve Gadd har Yamaha förnyat den ikoniska Recording Custom-serien med nya designelement som ger ett förfinat, fokuserat ljud med en förbättrad rundare och djupare ton. Stommarna är byggda med 6-lager nordamerikansk björk. De har en med 30 graders ”bearing edge” som kompletteras med ett omdesignat hi tension-stämhus som gjorts tyngre för att förstärka de lägre frekvenserna. Resultet är ett lättanvänt och lättstämt trumset som fastställer det klassiska ”Recording Custom”-soundet. Lämpligt för alla typer av trumspel i alla situationer.
