Yamaha Washi 40th Anniversary Drumset

100% Hokkaido birch shells:
Yamaha’s birch comes from northern Japan, giving it a deep, rich fundamental. These drums have a low-end punch and what could be described as a “naturally EQ’d” sound, ideal for recording.
Tapestry finish:
The finish is an ancient Japanese tapestry of the Genpei war that is laser printed on Washi paper and meticulously hand-laid on the all-birch shells. The drums are then hand sprayed with a clear lacquer that is hand-buffed to a lustrous shine. Each drum depicts a different battle scene from the war that was a pivotal point in Japan’s history.
Sixty degree bearing edges:
We cut the bearing edges at sixty degrees with a round profile giving the head more surface contact with the shell. This further enhances the low fundamental of the Hokkaido birch shells. These drums have a deep, warm tone and punchy attack.
Vintage wood hoops:
The 19 ply maple hoops warm the tone of these drums even more and add to the “naturally EQ’d” tonal characteristic of the shells. The hoops also enhance the tapestry artwork and give the drums an old-world traditional look.
High -tension lugs:
The Washi drums are fitted with Yamaha’s classic high-tension lugs made famous by the Recording Custom series. This final detail in the design of this drum set is the crowning touch to our celebration of forty years making drums for those players that are serious about their music.
