Constructed of a thin shell, the Absolute Maple provides maximum resonance with rich overtones. Drumset uses Absolute lug.
YESS II mounting system:
The new version of Yamaha’s YESS mounting system anchors the mount at the top and bottom nodal point of the shell. The mounting bracket is attached to a metal plate, and this assembly is isolated from the shell using rubber grommets. By shock-mounting the shell in this manner, no vibration is able to escape the shell through the hardware. The lugs are placed at a point that filters out unwanted overtones. This system gives the Absolute series a bigger sound and a pure tone with more warmth and sustain.
