As the name implies, the Absolute Hybrid Maple drum set combines a core ply of harder Wenge wood with outer plies of North American Maple. This unique configuration produces a drum with an unusually expressive tone and a wide dynamic range that faithfully reproduces every nuance of a player's approach. Absolute Hybrid Maple drum sets feature a hook lug originally designed for the PHX Series, which brings out the drum's natural tone by creating a small footprint on the shell. In addition to allowing quick and easy head changes, the lugs provide precision tuning. Other features in the series include a new piston-drive snare strainer, hinged floor tom leg brackets, a low-mass bass drum bracket and the same style of spurs first introduced on the Live Custom drum set. Yamaha's exclusive staggered diagonal seam and Air-Seal System shell-making process produces strong, consistent shells.
