We’re now stocking an extensive range of Yamaha drums

From Gigmaker and Stage Custom ranges to the latest electronic kits

GigMaker

The new Yamaha GigMaker kit features hex tom ball joints and new eye-catching glitter wrap finishes. What makes this range exceptional for its price is the matching wood bass drum hoops for superior tone and playability and both a 20” and 22” configuration.

Stage Custom

The legendary tone of an all-birch set! The beautiful Honey Amber finish really makes this kit stand out from the crowd. With its low fundamental and warm tone, the birch drums have been top choice of drum kits for drummers all over the world for 30 years!

Electronic kits

Take a look at the DTX700 for example...

In addition to the 1,268 drum and percussion sounds and 128 instrument voices, you can add new sounds to the DTX700 by simply loading them into the in-cluded 64MB Flash-ROM. By in-corporating the DTX-PADs (the most advanced drum pads ever made) for the snare and toms you develop real drum playing technique the more you play the drums. And you’ll be playing day and night with the on-board practice songs that let you mute the drums and play along; you can even record yourself for further study.

You can check the whole range over at HW Audio

First launched in 1990, the Pacifica series was driven

by the Californian session scene of the day - where

versatility, performance and individuality were key.

Inspired by those custom-shop guitars, and that

original vision, Pacifica 611 is today’s embodiment

of the Pacifica concept.
