The Yamaha Absolute Maple Hybrid Bass 22"x18" Drum Orange Sparkle is a 22"x18" bass drum, featuring an 8mm maple/wenge/maple shell, with optimized bearing edges, hook lugs, and an orange sparkle finish. The absolute Yamaha flagship series "PHX" was set for this perfectly shaped Hybrid Maple Model. 2 woods are connected to an exquisite shell to create the maximum expression and sound diversity. The result is remarkable: the finest Canadian maple coated on both sides to a solid core of Wenge, an African hardwood lends to a resulting sound that is extremely articulate and precise. This drum is characterized by an outstanding speech on each beat.
Clear and precise in speech, with an incredible dynamism and a great walnut-finish, the Absolute Maple hybrid bass drum represents a perfect acquisition for advanced and professional drummers with certain needs. The inside of the shell is coated with an extra developed "Vintage Natural" finish, distinctive for a sound development and an exceptionally fine look. A wealth of sound options and a compact assertiveness are the main features of this high-end bass drum. The innovative hook lugs are another major advantage for changing the skin within just a few moments. These new lugs can comfortably endure to the drum, thus, the individual tuning screws must not be fully unscrewed and the skin is renewed in a very short time.
