Custom Absolute Nouveau drums in some of the new
finishes available for 2004.
It starts with the selection of wood. The finest
woods that can be found. From there it goes to the hands of Yamaha's
craftsmen; people who have a deep respect for the natural qualities
available in wood; (Japan is known for it's wooden structures, some
of which are over 1000 years old). It's their skill and dedication
that has led to the development of some of the best technological
developments in the music industry today.
Yamaha's Air-Seal System transforms plies of select
wood into perfectly round drum shells, enhancing the tonal quality
of the wood. Combined with hardware, created by Yamaha's craftsmen
to work flawlessly and enhance the tone of the wood, you get drums
of exceptional quality.
As a total musical instrument maker and with it's
drum division in business for over 36 years now, Yamaha has dedicated
themselves to creating the best instruments possible. Instruments
they are proud to make. Instruments you can be proud to own.

Yamaha is continuing it's commitment to innovation
with the introduction of the Custom Absolute Nouveau line (premiered
at NAMM 2003). Absolute Series drums allow you to select the material
of your choice (maple, birch, beech) and even mix different materials
for snares, bass and toms. Also new is a single bolt ultra compact
lug that allows the entire rim and head to be detached without removing
the tension rod. This gives head changing speed & no more lost
washers. The new absolutes also give you 45
color options. Other features: new bass drum claws, legs, aluminum
die cast hoops & additional air vents. We will cover all these
new features in depth as the drums become available.
Pro Percussion carries the complete line
of Yamaha Kits.
