Yamaha Absolute Hybrid Tom 14x12" Vintage Natural

The Yamaha Absolute Hybrid has inherited much of the hybrid shell technology used in the PHK, making it a leader in drum manufacturing advancements. In the shells of the Absolute Hybrid, the design consists of a central core of wenge, a very hard and heavy African wood, interspersed between layers of maple, a wood known for the clarity of its sound. This hybrid design provides the drum components with a clear tone and rich timbre across the entire dynamic range played.
A versatile sound with character for any style.

The Shells

• In the shells of the Yamaha Absolute Hybrid, the design consists of a central core of wenge, a very hard and heavy African wood, interspersed between layers of maple, a wood known for the clarity of its sound. This hybrid design provides the drum components with a clear tone and rich timbre across the entire dynamic range played.
• It incorporates the YESS III system, which further reduces acoustic damping. By allowing the shell to vibrate more freely, the YESS III mount enhances the sustain and natural volume of the shell.
• The bearing edge on the bass drum is different from that used on the toms. The toms and snare drums use a 45º/R1.5 edge, while the bass drum uses a 30º/R1.5 edge that produces more low tones and a deeper, more powerful sound.
• The interiors of the shells are coated with Yamaha's exclusive "Vintage Natural" finish to enhance the tone.
