Description
The Yamaha Absolute 20x16 bass drum in Polar White is a high-quality, professional-grade drum featuring a Maple-Wenge-Maple Hybrid Shell for a wide dynamic range and articulate tone, an YESS III mount to enhance resonance, a specific 30°/R1.5 bearing edge for powerful low-end, an inner "Vintage Natural" finish, and a sleek, durable Polar White lacquer finish with die-cast aluminum hoops and hook lugs.
Key Features and Construction
Hybrid Maple Shell:
The drum's shell is constructed from an outer ply of maple, a central ply of hard wenge wood, and an inner ply of maple. This hybrid design delivers a rich, clear tone across the entire dynamic spectrum.
Inner "Vintage Natural" Finish:
The interior of the shell is coated with Yamaha's exclusive "Vintage Natural" finish, which enhances the drum's tone and provides a refined look.
Optimized Bass Drum Bearing Edge:
The bearing edge on the bass drum is set to 30°/R1.5, a different angle from the toms, which helps to bring out more low-end tone for a deeper, more powerful sound.
Hook Lugs:
The drum is equipped with hook lugs, which are a part of the Absolute series hardware.
YESS III Mount System:
The tom holder uses the YESS III (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System) for reduced shell contact and improved resonance.
Die-Cast Aluminum Hoops:
The 3.0mm die-cast aluminum hoops provide a strong sound with excellent attack and decay.
Polar White Finish:
The drum has a high-gloss Polar White lacquer finish, contributing to its professional and elegant appearance.
Sound Characteristics
Wide Dynamic Range:
The hybrid shell construction allows the drum to respond accurately to subtle nuances and changes in touch, offering a wide dynamic range.
Enhanced Resonance:
The combination of the YESS III mount and the shell design allows the drum to vibrate more freely, resulting in enhanced sustain and natural volume.
Powerful Low-End:
The specific bearing edge on the bass drum is engineered to emphasize the lower frequencies, providing a deep and powerful sound.
