Yamaha 8×8″ Oak Concert Tom (5 lugs)

This double-headed model is a perfect choice for a classical concert use.

Yamaha adopted a size structure based on the proportional relation between diameter and depth, which is “For every 1 inch increase in diameter, increase the depth by 1/2 inch”. As a result, we successfully achieved the classical tone and lingering depth which is fundamentally different from that of existing concert toms. Solving a conventional problem that tonal colour and length of sustain differ between toms, this model offers a perfect unity in tone and sustain as a whole set, which gives you a higher level of expressivity. It also has a wide tuning range from high to low register to allow you to produce various types of sound that is required in classical music.

The YESS mount system has evolved once again, delivering further improvements in tonal purity and open sound without compromising the natural resonance of the shell in any way. And as with previous YESS systems the drum attaches securely to the stand.

Oak shells deliver sharp, powerful attack, impressive tonal depth, and beautifully balanced sustain. The exterior finish emphasises the oak grain for elegant visual appeal.
