Cara, o que falar de uma bateria que mistura duas das melhores medeiras do que existe, depois as ferragens da melhor qualidade e beleza com sistema de flutuação nos tons e aro diecast o som dela tem peso e impõe respeito em qualquer lugar. o que eu mais gosto yamaha beech custo é que o som dela é cortante a unica coisa que eu não gostei foi as cores dela gostaria que ela tivesse cores de madeira acho muito elegante a caixa dela é do medio para o agudo volume controlado e um som unico. eu recomendo para qualquer baterista por causa do som absurdamente versatil e unico. bateria yamaha beech custom um bateria de conceito!!

The yamaha beech kits should be on every pro's shortlist. My personal experience is, never have I played a kit that ive wanted to keep going back too more, they lure you like a holy grail !!!! Fat tone,exceptional tuning ability, bass drum to die for, only the full floating sleishmans can get fatter tone & more range out of a drum than these,with Beech/bubinga Sonor/tamas probably the only others on par. I used to have 3 yamaha kits setup side by side, Maple absolute,Birch Absolute & beech absolute. Maple was great for warmth,birch the obvious studio set, but the beech was irresistable in all respects ! I would acually get depressed if I couldnt get on & caress these babies every few days. Nothing needs to be said about the hardware etc, typical yamaha brilliance.

My 20/10/12/14 lime green kit has definitely outstanding apperance.Toms sound amazing especialy tuned pretty low with clear Emperors on top and after five years having them I can recomend it to anyone looking for fat power pop sound.Only thing that I am not 100 % satisfied is bass drum when compared to rest of the kit so if you are looking to get some try to find 22" kick

These Yamaha Beech Custom drums are best kept secret .even the Yamaha company never
thought ,they would be the total success !they were planned to be the
upper midrange series and affordable.but sound in some cases even better than more expensive Yamaha's .BEECH is out of production now.so check out for used kits, where ever you can.
Good Luck !

The Yamaha Beech Custom is really good sounding no matter if it's tuned hi or low and easy to tune and stays pretty good in tune. I have 8" 10" 12" 14" 16" & 22" I bought it used and I got it very very cheap.. it really is the best set i have ever had and there's no drums i haven't played. Oh yes, liked my old Sonor Phonic Plus but that was so heavy to have on jobs. These beech custom drums don't weigh a ton and thay have a good sustain, not as much as maple, that's what i like and my band loves my new sound. Sadly i haven't found a beech snare yet so atm i am just going with a maple custom 14x8 and 14x6.5 steel.

I'm 42, been playing for over 25 years and love Yamaha drums. This kit has "Gone Country", Top 40'd and Rocked hard for 9 years. Before that I owned a Tour Custom kit for 10 years with the same level of service. I will always play Yamaha drums.
Thank you Yamaha for providing such a professional instrument to assist in my career goals.

Really good quality, that's just what yamaha does, quality and i love my drums and the bassy sound, i have played it all, maple, birch, oak, "basswood" Philipine "Mahogany," bubinga and beech is where i settle for now. If you get the chance to buy one of these kits, i'd say do it!

When I bought my kit, I wasn't sure what kind of sound I was going to get or if I 'd like it with the styles of music I'd play, but I made a good choice. No matter how I tuned it, I loved the clean, open sound it provided. It sounded great in small clubs, and even better fully mic-ed in a large auditorium. I play 8", 10", 12", 14", and a 20" bass drum. From disco to Journey, it rocks!

I own one of them. Excellent sound, a professional item. Bad point, out of catalogues nowadays I think. Impressive kit as good as birch custom or maple custom. Good mid tones.

I flat out love it. It is incredible looking and maybe even more so sounding. The sound of the Yamaha Beech Custom is incredibly versatile, without having to retune or anything. This is by far the best investment of my life. I love it.

Bought a Yamaha Beech Custom shell pack off ebay (10" 12" 14" 22") for a great price. Checked out what they would cost new, and it's still very reasonable. And this is the Uk where pretty much everything is expensive!
Slapped on some evans g2 heads, and with the absolute minimum of fuss, they toms sang sweet and clear. The constuction is amazing too- Japanese gear is probably the best in the world.!!
Recorded a demo with my band not long after I got the kit, and the results were night and day compared with my Tama Rockstar. Just perfect. I am now a Yamaha convert. I would recommend this kit to anyone. If you are looking to upgrade to a pro level kit, then you MUST check this out. Sounds as good as anything else, but is half the price. Dont fall for slick advertising and shiny magazine ads, most of the top level stuff is way over rated. Trust me, I've tried a lot of them!!!
Long live Yamaha!!!!

I have been playing drums for 14 years and was looking to get a new set of shells, excluding snare. I had looked at second hand sonor designer series, and was considering a brady and until I played the beech custom absolute, I never expected to find a Yamaha kit that I liked so much and decided to get it immediately. I was so suprised at the price for such an amazing sounding kit. I ended up being able to afford a Steve Jordan sig snare, new iron cobra double pedal and throne within my budget. Took it straight to a gig on the first night and it really cut live (many people commented on how great the drum sound was) and was comfortable to play from the start. The 22" by 18" bass drum really compliments my 14" by 5 1/2" Brady Tasmanian blackwood. It really helped me say what I've been wanting to say through my old beaten up pearl export. Can't wait to see how it matures!

Yamaha Beech Custom - I have owned these drums for a little over two yeas now, they sound excellent live or in a recording studio. My kit was a custom order, it consists of an 8", 10", 12", 13", 14", 15" rack toms, 22" x 18" kick drum (that sounds like thunder), and a 14" x 6 1/2" snare. They are made from 100% beech custom wood. I have been playing drums on a professional level for over 20 years, and I have owned many other Pro-Line drum kits, but Yamaha takes them all. If you are looking for a professional drum kit, I recommend the Yamaha Beech Custom. They have the tone of a maple shell and the attack of birch. So, the next time you are looking to buy a new drum kit, make sure you check these out first. You will also like the price.

Hi Helmet do you mind if I ask how much you paid for your shell pack on ebay? Do you know how much a Beech Custom went for new?
