Yamaha
9000 Recording Custom
Piano Black Finish
Per Day : $143
Per Week: $429
The Yamaha 9000 series Recording Custom kit is our most-requested kit and so we keep a choice of sizes. All of our 9000 series drums are finished in Piano Black with chrome hardware. In practise most drummers will choose either the standard "Fusion" kit with 10T 12T 15F 20K or "Rock" kit with 12T 13T 16F 22K.
The RC's 100% birch shells combine a high gloss lacquer exterior finish with a hand-rubbed stain interior. The 7-ply bass drums and 6-ply tom toms have straight sided walls, allowing unimpeded sound projection. This is further aided by the perfect 45 degree bearing edges. The shells are manufactured using our Air Seal System where the wood plies, with staggered diagonal seams, are sealed together under evenly distributed air pressure. This ensures that all Yamaha shells are the model of consistency and durability.
Birch shells deliver a lower fundamental tone than maple. As a result, they project a warm, rounded sound with a slightly shorter decay, ideal for the controlled environment of the studio. The legendary RC is consequently the most recorded drum kit of modern times. The controlled sound is further helped by sleek, one-piece Hi-Tension heavily chromed lug casings. Precision machined lug nuts provide noise-free operation due to their spring-less casing design.
A choice of snare drums is available and one snare is included in the kit price. All kits are supplied in any 5-piece configuration for the listed price when available and include:
- Kick Pedal
- Hi-Hat Stand
- Snare Stand
- 3 x Cymbal Boom Stands
- All Tom Hardware & Stool in SKB Cases.
Please note price does not include the hire of cymbals. Please refer to our Backline Hire Price List for cymbal prices and a list of snare drums available.
