Classic Recording Custom Sound

Recording Custom drums are known for their precision-built all-birch shells, delivering a naturally controlled sound with fast attack, strong projection, and excellent microphone response. Originally developed with input from Steve Gadd, the Recording Custom series became a staple in recording studios worldwide thanks to its clean tonal character and balanced sustain.

The 22x14 bass drum provides a punchy, focused low-end response with excellent articulation, while the shallow 12x8 rack tom delivers quick attack and definition. The 16x15 floor tom offers deep, controlled tone with plenty of body without becoming overly boomy or loose.

Build Quality & Hardware

Yamaha Recording Custom drums are built to extremely high manufacturing standards and feature premium shell construction, durable hardware, and Yamaha's renowned fit and finish quality. The included single tom mount keeps the setup streamlined while preserving the classic Recording Custom aesthetic and functionality.

The Silver Sparkle lacquer finish gives this kit a refined modern appearance while still maintaining the understated professionalism Recording Customs are known for on stage and in studio environments.
