Hahaha. So many people arguing. Jimbo is amazing. Period. And he is most certainly a musician despite what one person decides to interpret as his own definitions.
Haven't heard a note or beat yet, but from the particular tools chosen in the drum set and how it is arranged tells me this guy is gonna be good. A true professional.
No, I actually got a steam bent single ply, free floating, 14x6.5, D-type snares and of course the Maple hoops I'm going to throw on it. ! I cannot wait for it to show up! I bought it instead of a car for my sixteenth birthday haha. Should be a beast in the studio!
I have read some notice from yamaha in their website, you can order custom drum kit with SIZE, lug model up to hardware, custom hardware (ex. remote hi-hat with new pedal model link), finish shell, and shell it self (include phx, oak and BEECH shell too), but it taking min. 6 months for process. Entry level drum like stage custom, tour custom, rock tour can't be custom order.
That thing is gonna sing man! Nice.. This past winter opted out of a car too for a new kit.. haha So far, it was totally worth it. Have fun with your new snare!
@soundgrdn look 14" and 16" tom-tom, it's have one leg floor tom for each tom-tom. it's Hybrid tom and only in Oak Custom Akira Jimbo model. beech custom absolute was discontinued by Yamaha, and as Yamaha endorser and artist, Yamaha think Jimbo must have new custom drum for replace beech drum.
@xen0genesis ofcourse, i understand what your saying, just couldnt get it sounding responsive, there is such a skinny snare on that drum! sold it and went back to my trusty old ludwig acrolite!
You mean there's no triggers on these acoustic drums! I've seen a good few acoustic kits with triggering systems, more prominently on the kick than anything else!
Nice! Did you get yourself one of those 20 ply snares? I'm building a segmented shell now, and want some pretty hoops to throw on there. I'm excited now to get me some Stellar hoops.
dude, just get some wood hoops made for your favorite snare then. I can send you a link to a company that makes phenomenal wood hoops for snares, made to order and highly customizable. A little pricey but in my experience it was well worth it. They look and sound really sexy on basically any drum.
Where do you get your wood hoops from? Would it by chance be Stellar? I was looking to them recently for some. If not, I'd love to know of other makers.
Well if you're a DJ that happens to be a accomplished musician (Like ?uestlove) because you'll be a threat to mediocre DJ's,because you have a understanding of whats going on within the music. :)
It won't ever be the same again. No more Recording Custom and all the things that made the company. Everything that Hagi Hagiwara worked for is basically in the chute. No more made in Japan. The company is losing their identity by not operating in Japan. Tama has made similar mistakes. Sakae is on their own now and IMO not making the smartest decisions. Yamaha's new factory was supposed to lower the prices of the drums but it basically lowered the price on their end. They're charging just as much for the hybrid maple as they did for the original MIJ maple custom. I will say the hybrid maple sounds good. I'll give them that. Although, the new Live Custom's don't sound very good at all. No tone. I feel my comments are accurate.
+CR I totally agree... those handcrafted and innovated times are gone. I purchased a big kit in Maple custom with (YESS) first or secondmounting system, 1988. Very mellow and tonal drumshells.. and I din´t know for sure but I believe they were made in Japan, original factory?!
Chill out man, I'd like to think you just had a bad day. In fact, he's alternating doubles with the right foot, and singles with the left on the hihat and bass simoultaneously.
Nice drum solo as expected but this is not an oak custom. Everything he has is beech custom & they are not discontinued because i recently bought a beech custom drumset and they are so awesome!
