As the name suggests, the Tour Custom is designed to meet the demands of drummers who go through rehearsals, gigs, and setups\/dismantling, while maintaining a musical and easily usable sonic identity. Within Yamaha's lineup, it positions itself as an accessible and serious \u003cstrong\u003emaple\u003c\/strong\u003e option, with design choices focused on efficiency, durability, and an immediately rewarding sound output.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Drum Set\/Instrument Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eTour Custom 20\" x 15\" bass drum\u003c\/strong\u003e is primarily aimed at \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to advanced drummers\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking a versatile kick drum that is easy to tune and adaptable to various contexts. The 20\" diameter is especially suitable for styles where precision and controlled low end are desired: \u003cstrong\u003epop\u003c\/strong\u003e, modern \u003cstrong\u003erock\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003efunk\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eindie\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eelectric jazz\u003c\/strong\u003e, gospel, or contemporary music requiring a bass drum that \"speaks\" quickly to the microphone. In live settings, this size is also a real asset for tight stage setups and tours, offering easier transport than a 22\" while maintaining a solid foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe core of this bass drum lies in a \u003cstrong\u003emaple\u003c\/strong\u003e shell with \u003cstrong\u003e6 plies\u003c\/strong\u003e and a thickness of \u003cstrong\u003e5.6 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e, a choice appreciated for its blend of musicality and projection. The \u003cstrong\u003e45-degree bearing edge\u003c\/strong\u003e promotes a more precise contact between the drumhead and the shell edge: this typically results in a crisper attack, better stick definition, and a more direct response, which facilitates tuning and consistency from gig to gig. Regarding hardware, the \u003cstrong\u003eAbsolute Lugs\u003c\/strong\u003e enhance the premium positioning of the kit: a nod to Yamaha's renowned series, featuring a modern aesthetic and a solid feel suited for intensive use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaple\u003c\/strong\u003e is known for its \u003cstrong\u003eversatility\u003c\/strong\u003e: it provides a generous yet controlled low end, present mids, and sufficiently open highs to maintain definition. On a bass drum, this translates to a round low end, clear attack, and a balanced response that sits easily in a mix, whether acoustic or amplified. The \u003cstrong\u003e6-ply\u003c\/strong\u003e construction with a \u003cstrong\u003e5.6 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e thickness helps maintain a good compromise between resonance and durability, with a usable sustain that doesn't become overwhelming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e20\" x 15\"\u003c\/strong\u003e format enhances this sense of precision: the 20\" tends to offer a tighter and more defined low end than a 22\", while the 15\" depth helps retain body and punch. The result is a bass drum that responds quickly, is very effective on the mic, and allows for both an open sound (with resonance) and a shorter, \"studio\" sound (with light damping). The \u003cstrong\u003e45-degree bearing edge\u003c\/strong\u003e adds clarity to the attack and facilitates achieving a clean kick, useful for fast playing and modern tuning preferences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eBass drum\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e5.6 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:7;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eYamaha Tour Custom\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBearing Edge\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e45 degrees\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:8;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e20\u0026quot; x 15\u0026quot;\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLugs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eAbsolute Lugs\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:4;--wb-r:9;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWood\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eMaple\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eCaramel Satin\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:5;--wb-r:10;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e6 plies\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Yamaha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54359825023251,"sku":"425412","price":1181.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/b1e4fd84297e74b897275ae9674504628b57a35d_YAMAHA_VFR8110.jpg?v=1792597333","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/yamaha-tmb2015-bass-drum-tour-custom-20-x-15-caramel-satin-425412","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
