Description

Introducing the Yamaha Gigmaker Studio Black Glitter, a drum set that's crafted to resonate with both budding and seasoned drummers. This five-piece ensemble is a harmonious blend of Yamaha's renowned craftsmanship and affordability, presenting an ideal choice for those seeking professional quality without breaking the bank. The set features a robust 22"x16" bass drum, 13"x9.5" and 12"x9" mounted toms, a 16"x16" floor tom, and a 14"x5.5" wood snare drum.

What sets the Gigmaker Studio apart is its 7-ply basswood/poplar kick drum shell, which delivers a rich, resonant sound that fills any space. The toms and snare consist of 6 plies of the same high-quality materials, ensuring durability and superior tonal quality. Each drum is equipped with triple-flange, 1.6mm steel hoops, which not only enhance their structural integrity but also contribute to the crisp, clean attack that Yamaha is known for.

Included in the package are essential hardware components: a 600-series straight cymbal stand, snare stand, hi-hat stand, and an FP6110A single kick drum pedal. The springless lug design of these drums is engineered to eliminate any unwanted overtones, providing a clear, focused sound that drummers crave. Please note, cymbals are sold separately, allowing you to customize your sound to perfection.
