Key Features
Yamaha's Absolute Series features their highest-quality materials and components, all carefully crafted to ensure an excellent response and the very best tone. The drums feature Absolute lugs, for a secure hold without interfering with the vibrations of the shell, and carefully-positioned vent holes to enhance the tone colours in midrange to low-frequency, and help control the sustain.

Wood:
Carefully selected maple material is used. It offers rich, warm tone and abundant sustain. This material is loved by drummers the world over, and is heard in every musical genre imaginable. The bass drum is seven-ply while the toms are six-ply. Excellent durability is achieved with the use of premium materials. and through the combination of the air sealing system and YAMAHA's advanced woodworking technologies. The Absolute Series produces a well-balanced rumble.Absolute Lug:
Yamaha's complete specifications are passed on to succeeding model lines, generation after generation. The already well-known "Absolute Lug", for instance, can be firmly secured with a single bolt. It's a complete secure lug that doesn't interfere with vibrations of the shell. The lug nut holding plate, which is located within the lug case, and the nylon ring at the lower part of the lug nut control the slackening of the tuning bolt, providing the utmost in tuning stability.YESS II-m:
Y.E.S.S. II-m is an improved version of YAMAHA's original tom mount, known as the Y.E.S.S. (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System). Its unique design, which minimises interference with the shell's natural response - which some call the "rumble" - has been adopted for the PHX Series and is highly praised by pro players worldwide. The Y.E.S.S. II, has been adopted for the Absolute Series, producing even longer sustain.In the Y.E.S.S. II-m mount system, the number of supported points (rubber spacers) is adjusted according to the size of the tom. For example, the number of supported points is minimal for a lightweight tom. For a heavyweight tom rubber spacers, ranging in diameter from small to large, are carefully selected and distributed in order to modulate the rumbling caused by the weight of the drum. This results in clear response and well-balanced rumble from one drum to the next.
Vent Hole:
The vent hole plays an important role in performance, since it affects not only the sensation of hitting the drum (the impact) but also the initial sound, sustain and tone. Through an exhaustive series of prototypes, YAMAHA has discovered the optimal number and vent hole position depending on the air capacity of each shell. Particularly, vent holes contribute to the enhancement of tone colours in midrange to low-frequency sounds, as well as the control of sustain.R-Version Bass Drum:
Yamaha's constant quest for the ultimate in bass-drum performance has produced a new design, in which a tom-mount base has been eliminated from the upper part of the drum. The more powerful, direct sound that results will forever change the perception of what a bass drum can and should be. Moreover, the new design is very compatible with HEXRACK and various types of stands, so you can set up the kit exactly the way you want.Hoop:
