The cymbal stands include a memory lock to hold the arm at your ideal extension and angle, while the fine-toothed tilter allows additional flexibility. Boom stands provide more flexibility than straight stands, so it’s nice that Yamaha includes two booms rather than one of each type. These booms have nice, long, 17″ arms and employ a hideaway design so they can mimic straight stands. Highlights included the two triple-tier cymbal boom stands (CS755). It was sturdy enough for the needs of drummers playing general gigs like weddings (in fact, I’m writing this section of this review at a wedding gig) and is a great bargain to boot. In addition to the snare drum, I also received a set of single-braced medium weight hardware, model HW780, to support this shell pack. Wires are an often overlooked aspect of a snare’s sound, and many drummers hesitate to spend more to experiment with them. Surprisingly, it included two sets of chrome snare wires: a standard set of 20-strand wires as well as a set of Steve Gadd’s preferred 10-strand wires (grouped as five separate pairs), for a subtly different response. The snare bed is 2.4mm deep and seemed ideal for this drum. Mechanically, the Q-type strainer has a piston design, and worked smoothly and quietly, no doubt due to the nylon parts used liberally in the mechanism. I found that the bright chrome lugs contrasted nicely against the brushed shell. Also available in aluminum and brass and in a bombastic 7″ depth, it has an outward center bead, 2.3mm triple-flange Dyna Hoops, brushed shell finish, and newly designed chrome dual-sided lugs. Yamaha also sent an optional high-end 14″ x 5.5″ Recording Custom steel snare that the legendary Steve Gadd helped develop. Let’s Get Cracking – Yamaha Tour Custom Review These kits come with professional Remo heads, including Ambassador Clear heads on the top and bottom of the toms and a Powerstroke 3 Clear bass drum batter with a smooth white Powerstroke 3 logo head. Bass drum spurs have fixed spikes protruding from rubber feet. Hanging toms on cymbal stands always feels less stable than when they’re mounted on the bass drum, so I prefer this feature.īass drum claws are rubber lined and die-cast rather than cheap stamped steel.
