I love the sound of these drums, and they have a great body on the toms, and naturally they don´t have many overtones.
Great review again, guys. Thank you. Can you please tell me…between this and the new Tama Starclassic Birch/Walnut, which do you think had a more open sound with more sustain? Which one did you feel had a sweeter sound?
man ,i hope you guys are having fun doing those test videos because, im having a blast watching them. That Yam sounds perfect.keep up the good work.
Flawless review as always.
The attack and response is ridiculous. Love it. I have a Yamaha Oak Custom and I can hear the difference.
Great, comprehensive review … as per usual. Still marvel at my now discontinued Live Custom
you guys are awesome. is there anyway to really understand the power of the bass drum in these reviews. usually they all give a big blat from overwhelming the mics. It’s not just you guys but every online review the bass seems to shock the mic.
Awesomeness
At the lower tuning the 12″ has a longer note and more pronounced pitch bend. It also sounds louder when listening to the overheads. I’m surprised that no one caught that.
Any chance of a video comparison between the original Oak Custom, the Live Custom and the Live Custom Hybrid? Might be difficult given how long the original Oak series has been discontinued but keen to hear the difference between all 3 if possible!
Yamaha is boss!
uhm … wow!! Really coming through on both tunings, …impressive! Shane, … gram weight on that Reflector Ride? Didn’t realize how versatile that one was!
#ugly
always pleased when I see Yamaha as backline
Great video I’m in western Maine not too far away!
Wow! I’m blown away and I can’t decide what sounds better – snare, toms or the kick
That’s a gorgeous finish
I don’t like the shallow toms. Give me depth motherfuckers.
To the Video Editor, please use dark/black transisition instead of white. Thx
sounds great
Amazing drum kit. I have the Live Customs and absolutely love them. These sound like mine except on steroids. Did you try them with coated heads by chance? Thanks for the great review.
Nice think they’ll do a recording custom hybrid shell. Or just a birch hybrid shell next?
Oak grain just crushes maple or birch. These drums sound like they own it.
how do they compare to noble cooley solid shell oak,from a players perspective?
How are those Yamaha kick pedals? I’ve been looking into them and I’m not finding many reviews of them out there, also it would be awesome to see more reviews of hardware and kick pedals from you guys!
You had me at throw your back out
Fantastic!
Hi. Can i buy the weighted lug to put in my regular live custom?
Excelente.
Guys, you will destroy all my savings.
please do Tama!
I’ve noticed in many drum demo videos that rack toms often have a clear note to them and the bigger one is lower than the smaller, but floor toms often have no note — it’s just a thud. You’d expect them to have another lower note than the bigger rack tom, but often they don’t. Why is that? Is it because hanging them lets them resonate more than sitting them on a stand on the floor?
btw, what was Yamaha biggest flop yet? Their Rock Tour maybe? I thought they were cool drums…
Loved everything but the high pitched pingy paiste ride. Sounded like an anvil.
Can’t say Yamaha bass drums don’t put out anymore, that’s for sure.
Sounds nice…
I think I preferred the higher tuning. I’ve only ever played lower end Yamaha drums, but I’ve been impressed with them even with the entry level stuff.
Did you tune the bottom head up as well for the higher tuning? The floor tom in particular.
Thanks
They can’t put something out half-baked… LOL! They do sound incredible though but what do you expect it’s Yamaha!
I love those cymbals (Paiste)
Toute une sonorité….c’est du yamaha
I like the original live custom drums.The updates are cool but I don’t understand they needed to up the price when its only like not that far away from a recording custom.
