DRUMS SPOTLIGHT YAMAHA
CLUB CUSTOM DRUMKIT £TBC They say: A totally new concept in drum design and construction. For: Drummers Range: Yamaha acoustic kits Spec:Yamaha introduces the new Club Custom – an outstanding professional model using 100 per cent premium quality Kapur shells, with a dramatic swirl painted finish. The kit has a dramatic, eye-catching retro
appearance and is designed in partnership with drummer and Yamaha artist Steve Jordan. It offers a unique sound and feel thanks to a
groundbreaking swirl lacquer finish, using paint as opposed to the standard wrap, which delivers a real practical sonic advantage, allowing the Kapur shells to vibrate more effectively, delivering extra flexibility. Exclusive to Yamaha, Kapur has previously
only been used in the flagship Yamaha PHX Phoenix kits and is an exceptional wood that provides all the necessary hardness when being played, as well as superb resonance. They deliver a warm, fat and expressive tone with rich mid-low range resonance. Kapur also offers a wider tuning range. From:Yamaha 01908 366700
