Yamaha Bass Drums

The Yamaha name is no stranger to drummers. Since 1967, Yamaha has been providing percussionists of all tastes and playing styles with drums that are durable, responsive, and powerful, and their bass drums are no exception. Paired with the sound of a bass guitar, your kick drum creates the foundation upon which your band's sound is built. With that in mind, choosing a model from Yamaha is a sure-fire way of ensuring the heartbeat of your group's sound is both heard and felt by everyone in attendance.

So which one is right for you? That will depend on your own tastes and preferences. For example, drums made of birch are known for their versatility, and the Stage Custom Birch bass drum is ideal for a wide range of genres. Featuring an Air Seal System shell and die-cast claw hooks with rubber insertion plates to reduces noise, this 24x15 bass drum is also available in four eye-catching colors. The Yamaha Stage Custom Series bass drums are world-famous for their exceptional tone and strength, and this model would be a definite upgrade to any kit.

Another popular seller in this section is the Live Custom Oak 20x16 bass drum. Oak has a reputation for producing a loud and bright tone, and this drum sports a sturdy hexagonal design and fixed angle position to hold up through countless hard-hitting performances. Not to mention, this shell has 7 plies of 100% oak, so you can bet that this bass drum looks as sharp as it sounds.

As you can see, Yamaha has more than enough bass drum choices, so by all means dive in and explore their options. Whatever you choose, just remember that Yamaha's passion for percussion is apparent in every single drum they construct, so you'll have no problem realizing your greatest level of potential with a bass drum from this selection.
