As part of Yamaha’s flagship PHX series, this bass drum features a proprietary hybrid shell construction combining multiple premium tonewoods for exceptional balance across all frequencies. The PHX shell utilizes a complex blend of woods including maple, kapur, and jatoba, engineered to maximize volume, tonal richness, and dynamic range.
