Designed for drummers looking for accurate sound and balanced response, Yamaha's 14" x 5.5" aluminium RAS1455 Recording Custom fits naturally into any recording or live performance environment. Its 1.2mm aluminium barrel, combined with 45° bevels, promotes clean attack and controlled projection.

The 3 mm, 10-pull die-cast hoops ensure stable tension and an even response across the entire surface of the skin. The Yamaha Type Q trigger, combined with the DC3 counterpart, allows fluid adjustment of the 25-strand carbon steel tone for clear, defined articulation.

The combination of sandblasted Remo Ambassador and Reso skins completes the package, with sensitivity tailored to dynamic nuances. With its Hairline Clear finish and design based on the Recording Custom series, this model is aimed at musicians who value sonic precision and mechanical reliability.
