    Yamaha Oak Custom 10, 12, 16, 22" shell pack.
    This kit is very versatile and fitting for a wide range of musical styles.

    Played lightly, the tom toms are clear with really good definition and this is great for jazz. For rock or pop, I just play them alittle harder. The toms produce lots of volume, but retain a nice, taut
    sound. The floor tom goes really deep but with clarity and openness.


    The bass drum also produces tremendous power and depth. Full and resonant. I use some moongel
    to tame it a bit.


    The tom tom hardware is super easy to use, too. The ball mount is solid as is the YESS mounts.


    If you need flexibility in the snare sound, the Oak Custom snare may not give you that. I returned the 14 x 5.5" snare as it seems to prefer high tuning more than the moderate range. Great for rock or metal, though.


    I bought a Pearl MCX 14 x 6.5" snare, instead. It's wider tuning capabilities and maple shelled warmth made it more useful to me.


    One minor quibble. I didn't notice when I purchased it that there are no plastic inserts for the bass hoop claws.

    Otherwise, this is a very fine kit and the Honey York Amber looks awesome.
    I really enjoy playing it.
