All user reviews for the Yamaha Beech Custom

I PURCHASED THE YAMAHA BEECH CUSTOM IN 2002 FROM INTERSTATE MUSIC AND I PAID SOME WHERE AROUND $2850 TO $3000. IT WAS A CUSTOM ORDER AND CONSISTS OF: 8"10"12"13"14"15" RACK TOMS A 22"X 18" KICK DRUM (WHICH SOUNDS LIKE THUNDER)AND 14"X 6 1/2" SNARE DRUM. I ALSO PURCHASED ALL THE TOM MOUNTS THAT ALL MOUNTS TO AN GIBRALTER 3/4 CIRCLE RACK SYSTEM.

THE DRUMS HAVE EXCELLENT TONE AND SOUND, THE HARDWARE IS VERY SOLID AND STABLE, THEY SOUND GREAT IN THE RECORDING STUDIO OR LIVE ON STAGE,THE DRUM SHELL STAIN WOOD FINISH IS BEAUTIFUL, THEY HAVE THE TONE OF A MAPLE SHELL AND THE ATTACK OF A BIRCH SHELL, THEY ARE MADE FROM 100% BEECH WOOD, THE ARE EASY TO TUNE AND STAY IN TUNE. (THEY SOUND THE BEST USING REMO PIN STRIPE DRUM HEADS)AND THE MONEY VALUE IN COMPARISON WITH OTHER PRO-LINE DRUM KITS.

HMMMMM....NOTHING.

THE SHELLS ARE MADE FROM 100% BEECH WOOD, THE CONSTRUCTION IS EXTREEMLY SOLID. THE QUALITY IS EXCELLENT AND ON A PROFESSIONAL LEVEL.

PROBABLY THE BEST VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY, IT'S WORTH CHECKING OUT IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR A PROFESSIONAL LEVEL DRUM KIT, I HAVE BEEN PLAYING ON A PROFESSIONAL LEVEL FOR 20 YEARS AND HAVE OWNED MANY OTHER DRUM KIT'S BUT THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST IN SOUND QUALITY, CONSTRUCTION, HARDWARE, APPERANCE AND VALUE FOR YOUR MONEY IN COMPARION TO OTHER PRO LEVEL DRUM KIT'S.

Hello. Sonor before playing, I was a Beech, the first series: this is terrible. it sounds really between birch and maple. It is easy to adjust and fittings are of high quality. The suspension system of the toms is excellent (much better than on my Sonor Lite, which is true, twenty years). My config was wide: 8 10 12 13 16 and 22. The 13 relaxed going well tom. The supports 8 to be quite relaxed and still the best "8" that I played.
Looking into, but good luck because it is rare.
Absolute model does not revolutionary, just a new product for future pigeons who want to absolutely new! That said, it sounds good.

How long have you use it?

I do not possde this drumkit but I get to use it in the studio every Saturday since late 2004.

What is the particular feature you like best and least?

Yamaha Beech Custom possde do little default (and not sr adpend if you have gots to toilets at the color.) But I can cite the fragility nanmoins Systm of mounting toms on the bass drum (prfrez mount the toms on cymbal stands or a rack) and difficulty tuning.
Particulirement I love the sound of the bass drum. Enormment trs attack and few harmonics (IDAL for a sound studio). Nothing for a thunderous 20-inch bass drum, and I think if I possdais one, I would certainly not 22. "
The drumkit carefully as team skins transparent two-layer (equivalent to a sub-Remo Emperor Remo brand whose name I screed), we can not qu'apprcier across the (sr not there so much diffrence with equivalents from other brands ... am by the way.)
Toms are no less convincing: with clarity and projection are the keywords.
We can even blame them for everything from a lack of power (and yes, it is not birch ...)

Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

It is not me ... lol
How do you report qualitprix?

Quite reasonable for a drumkit that level. Mainly due to the birch and the Saddle (have you on the beech: p)

Exprience with, you will do again this choice?

No problem, I have the opportunity to use drumkit in my local diffrent, including a Gretsch Catalina Jazz and DW sympatoche enough but I prfre the Beech above all.

Set 10.12.14.22 "with a drumkit in lime green color!
This drumkit is simply brilliant: the sound is clear, easy to adjust the bass as in the treble, the finish is perfect, high quality beech wood to be so sublime offers a projection, live it sounds really good and the bass drum has a true roundness, I love this drumkit, U2 drummer L. Mullen Junior possessed, and Manu Katche and drummer Stevie Wonder
Tone 9
The sound is powerful, warm setting serious and dull as I loves you but if it made a sharp slap setting, the drums fit perfectly in agreement, I play rock band (Muse, Radiohead ....)
This drumkit is versatile, it also would be perfect for funk and rhythm & blues!!
General Notice 10
I am more than satisfied with this Yamaha Beech (position adjustment system in Yess is super convenient), I hesitated a custom Maple from the same brand or Recording, but too expensive for me.
For a professional drum is a good value for money and the setting of the toms was instrumental in choosing the brand, this stuff is impossible to break the unbreakable Yamaha.
I recommend this drumkit.
