Product Overview
The TMS1465 features a precision-crafted 6-ply, 5.6mm maple shell that forms the foundation of this drum's remarkable tonal versatility. The all-maple construction provides the warm, musical tone that maple is renowned for while maintaining excellent projection and clarity. Yamaha's signature 45-degree bearing edges ensure optimal head contact for enhanced resonance and superior tuning stability.
The innovative Inverse DynaHoop counterhoops work in conjunction with Yamaha's Absolute lugs to create a tight, focused sound that's remarkably easy to tune and maintain. This hardware combination provides even tension distribution across the drumhead, allowing for precise tuning at any tension level. The drum responds beautifully to subtle dynamics while delivering powerful projection when the music demands it.
High-performance 20-strand high-carbon steel snare wires contribute exceptional focus and clarity to every stroke. The snare wires provide crisp, articulate response across the drum's entire tuning range, from deep, fat tones to bright, cutting sounds. Factory-equipped with premium Remo Ambassador heads (coated batter and clear snare side), this drum is ready for professional performance right out of the box.
