      Yamaha Oak Custom Features & Specifications<\/h3>\n

      The Oak Custom X featured an extended 22\u00d720 undrilled oak-shell bass drum for deep and powerful kick tone. Also by offering shallow toms and non-uniform floor toms, the idea was to create a sharper attack. The loud series 14\u00d77 snare drum was also standard along with premium grade dark chrome hardware. The shells were contrasted with a 45 degree bearing edge an 8-ply snare, 7-ply bass and 6-ply toms. Like other high quality kits the Yamaha Air Seal System and YESS were standard issue.<\/p>\n

       <\/p>\n

      Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System (YESS)<\/h3>\n

      Having a long history with Yamaha\u2019s high end drum sets such as the Maple Custom, the YESS mounting system is standard on all OAK Custom drum sets. This rod clamp system permits attachment of the drum shell to the tom holder without the need of a hole in the shell for the rod to clear. The YESS clamp is connected to the shell at the nodal point with two bolts which allows the drum to move freely without corrupting the shell\u2019s resonance and tonality.<\/p>\n
