A compact configuration perfect for streamlined rock or jazz.

The Yamaha Tour Custom 4-Piece Shell Pack includes a 22" x 17" kick drum, 12" x 9" tom with mount, 16" x 16" floor tom, and 14" x 6" matching wood snare. Cymbals and hardware sold separately.

Air Seal System
All Yamaha wood drums have one thing in common—Yamaha's craftsmen create every drum shell using their exclusive staggered-diagonal-seam Air Seal System just as they have since 1967. Each two or three-ply master ply is cut to length to very precise tolerance with a diagonal cut on each end. The diagonal seam in the drum shell will not separate, eliminating the need to fill gaps in the bearing edge with filler putty. These plies have glue applied and are then put into the mold by hand, one master ply at a time. The craftsman then inserts an air bag into the mold and inflates it, clamping the shell with even pressure 360° around. This process creates a drumshell that is strong, starts round, and stays cylindrical for many years.

100% maple shell
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. The matching wood snare drum has body, yet plenty of high end and is very articulate at all dynamic levels.

60° bearing edges
All Tour Custom drums have 60° R2 bearing edges. This is something new for Yamaha on a maple shell drum set. 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.

Bass drum spurs
Sturdy, yet simple in design; the bass drum spurs hold the bass drum firmly in place even under heavy playing. They are height adjustable using a drum key, and there are steel spikes that can be exposed when extra hold is needed. They fold up compactly for transport and are marked with angle indicators so that you can set them up the same every time.

YESS tom and floor tom brackets
All Tour Custom toms and floor toms use the Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System (YESS). The toms have 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 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.

Ball clamp and triple tom holder
Tour Custom drum sets include the TH-945 triple tom holder with Yamaha's tom ball clamp that gives you 360° rotation. The ball, made of a super-hard resin, is held in place by a single bolt making angle adjustments on the toms quick and easy. The toms lock firmly in place at virtually any angle you want. This versatile tom holder lets you mount any combination of up to three toms and/or cymbals by using either the standard or the long version of Yamaha's tom ball clamp and cymbal booms.

Beautiful lacquer finishes
Tour Custom drums are all finished in high-gloss lacquer.

Cymbals and hardware not included.

This IS the best deal on this site. If you're reading this before end of the year, check out the rebate form; you may be surprised. I was. The Yamaha Tour Custom 4-piece Fusion Shell Pack in Ocean Blue is the product I'm reviewing. No info on drum sizes was given for the product so I was a little leery of the word "fusion." But I was able to use Yamaha's website to confirm the sizes of the kit here are 22" bass, 12" tom, 16" floor, and 14" snare. So, a standard-size kit (though some standard-size 4-pieces have a 13" tom). Anyway, the drums are truly beautiful. Maple drums by great manufacturer at this price! The badges do say "Made in Indonesia" so if that will bother you, buyer beware. It doesn't bother me--they're still designed and quality-controlled by one of the best instrument makers. Who cares where they're made? I set them up and played for hours. They sound great with stock Remo heads. Sweet drums, sweeter deal.

This is the best deal on this web site. These are maple drums and Yamaha makes the best. Right out of the box these drums sound as professional as you can get. The snare sounds so good you won't believe it. Trust me, this will be the last kit you will ever need to buy.
