YAMAHA REVAMPS POWER-LITE SERIES -New 6300 Series Offers Durability, Strength, Easy Tuning and Full Sound- BUENA PARK, Calif. — Yamaha Corporation of America updates the popular Power-Lite Series of bass drums, snares and multi-toms for the first time since the late 1990’s. Debuting at Winter NAMM 2012, the new 6300 Series now offers expanded options and advanced features at the same affordable price. Replacing the 6200 Power-Lite Series, the 6300 Power- Lite Series is geared towards middle school children and youth community marching band programs, and features lighter-weight equipment to accommodate the average size and strength of children within that age group. Yamaha’s updated series is easy to tune and uses ultra-durable, high-end materials to ensure a rich sound and more vivid musical expression. “Yamaha continually seeks to improve its products and this series capitalizes on many of Yamaha’s many impressive percussion innovations,” says Troy Wollwage, Percussion Manager, Yamaha Band & Orchestral Division. “The 6300 Power-Lite Series builds on the solid foundation of the previous model to offer remarkable durability, strength and sound.” Ideal for musical situations requiring exceptional sound and lightweight design, the Power-Lite Series Bass Drums feature shallow depths, making them easy to carry. The 9-ply birch-ply shell is manufactured with Yamaha’s exclusive Air-Seal system to help ensure a warm tone and includes sound impact strips to provide for improved sound clarity and ease of tuning. With sizes ranging from 16” – 28”, all 6300 Power-Lite Series Bass Drums also come standard with white REMO Ambassador bass drumheads. Offering traditional sound with simple operation, the Power-Lite marching snare drum now comes in two different sizes, 13x11(MS-6313) and 14x12 (MS-6314). The 6-ply birch-ply shell is complemented with 1.6mm, triple flange steel rims and zinc alloy lug casings with reinforced walls and webbing for superior strength, flexibility and portability. It also features Yamaha’s Air 51 of 51
