The Yamaha Recording Custom - Best Sounding Kit Ever?
Well.... here she is... The stunning (and very iconic) Piano Black Yamaha Recording Custom! 😮💨
What can I say? Well Gadd spent 3years working with Yamaha, bringing this classic up to modern speck.
- 6ply Birch (instead of 8ply)
- heavier lugs for more resonance control
- 30degree bearing edges (instead of 45) for an even warmer sound
- Updated YESS Mount
- and includes the classic (and very functional) bass drum T-rods
I reskinned with my go-to Black Suede Emperors, Clear Ambassadors, Clear P3, and P3 Ebony, and with minimal intervention she was instantly singing!
Heres my first play under mics, and its fair to say I am floored. This kit sounds unreal and really lives up to the history it has garnered.
The snare I am using here is the recently acquired my 89' Brass 14x3.5 SD493. This whole setup is insane.
