Yamaha Recording Custom
Overview
The Yamaha Recording Custom is a legendary professional drum kit originally developed in collaboration with legendary studio drummer Steve Gadd, designed to be the ultimate recording and performance instrument. The shells are constructed from six-ply all-birch with Yamaha's proprietary Air Seal System, which ensures perfectly round and consistent shells that produce a focused, articulate tone with exceptional clarity and projection. The current generation features a refined shell formula that delivers a warm, controlled sound with the bright attack and cutting presence that has made the Recording Custom the preferred kit in top recording studios worldwide. The kit is available in various configurations, with standard sizes including a 22-inch bass drum, 10-inch and 12-inch rack toms, and 14-inch and 16-inch floor toms. Die-cast hoops provide precise tuning and a focused, articulate attack, while the YESS III mounting system allows rack toms to sustain and resonate freely. The finish quality is superb, with deep, lustrous lacquer options that reflect Yamaha's premium manufacturing standards. Every aspect of the Recording Custom is engineered for sonic excellence and reliability under professional demands. This kit is designed for professional touring and studio drummers who need the finest instrument available. The premium price and shell-pack format require substantial additional investment in hardware and cymbals to complete the setup.
