I find that withYamaha, the quality is superb. The drum is not the mostresonant drum on the market, I prefer to think of it as“controlled”. You’ll find many pro’s using the YAMAHA MapleCustom, as you will that which play other brands. The set andsound just reflects what I feel is right for me. I like thebrightness and the warmth projected by maple. Bright is agood way of explaining the characteristic of this kit if yousubscribe to the notion that the audio spectrum has 3 basicbands; Bass (warmth); midrange (presence or harshness);and treble (bright). Top quality sets, regardless ofmanufacturer are all great. There’s only one really great drumset, and that’s the one that inspires you to play your bestgiven the budget you have and reflects your personality.Mic Placement Shows a Typical LayoutConceptsEquipmentBuying DrumsBuying CymbalsBIOAcousticsContact●●●Yamaha Maple Custom, Sizes 10x9, 12x10, 14x12,16x14, 22x16.Finish: Black Maple, Gold lug casings, YESS mountson all toms.Hoops: Aluminum on toms, Solid Maple on kick,Snare by model.Hardware: YAMAHA 800 seriesCymbals: Paiste Signature Series●●●●Sound Edge Hi-Hat (14")Fast Crash (15")Fast Crash (16")Fast Crash (18")●Dry Heavy Ride (20")●Flat Ride (18")●Splash (10”)Microphones typically used:Yamaha Maple Custom (Black Maple)●●●●●●Snare- Batter Side: Shure Brothers SM57-LC;Snare-Resonant Side:Audio Technica ATM3528,Shure SM98 or Beyer M101Kick: AKG D112 or RE20Toms, Rack: AKG C418Toms, Floor: Sennheiser 421 – 70’s serieshttp://home.earthlink.net/~prof.sound/id2.html (1 of 3)1/22/2005 4:12:43 PM
