Yamaha Tour Custom Maple 4-Piece Shell Pack – Built for the Road, Tuned for the Studio

Professional drummers need a kit that can thrive in two demanding worlds: the stage and the studio. The Yamaha Tour Custom Maple is designed to do just that—delivering signature Yamaha tone, flexible tuning, and road-ready durability in a visually stunning, satin-finished package. Whether you're laying down clean tracks in the studio or pushing through high-energy sets on tour, this kit has the sonic versatility and pro appointments to match your playing demands.

At the heart of the Tour Custom Maple are thin, 6-ply all-maple shells measuring just 5.6mm thick. These shells are crafted with Yamaha’s proprietary staggered diagonal seam construction, a method that not only keeps the shells perfectly round but enhances their longevity and durability on the road. The maple delivers a warm, expressive tone with fast attack and a smooth, singing sustain—perfect for everything from funk and fusion to rock and worship.

Each shell features precision 45° bearing edges, which help maximize the head-to-shell relationship. Combined with rounded 2.3mm Dyna-Hoops, the kit offers a focused, articulate response and superb tuning stability. These vintage-style hoops also help protect your sticks, making them ideal for aggressive players who don’t want to sacrifice feel or tone.

Yamaha’s YESS (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System) tom mounts and single-post lugs - borrowed from the high-end Absolute series—are included for maximum sustain and tonal purity. The TH945C ball-and-socket tom mount offers a wide range of motion, giving you complete freedom to position your toms exactly where you want them, without compromise.

Visually, this shell pack is a head-turner. Its satin stain finish reflects Yamaha’s commitment to long-lasting, professional looks that only get better with age. And because it ships with Remo UT heads, you’ll get a vibrant, usable tone right out of the box.

Whether you're a seasoned session artist or a weekend warrior on tour, the Yamaha Tour Custom Maple is engineered to perform, inspire, and last.
