Yamaha CT-8000 Concert Tom Toms – Birch Shells, Dark Wood Stain

Yamaha’s CT-8000 Series concert toms deliver the focused, singing tone Yamaha concert percussion is known for. Built from 8-ply birch shells using the Air-Seal System for perfectly round shells and a pure fundamental, these single-headed toms speak quickly with a clean attack and long, even sustain. The YESS mount keeps hardware contact to a minimum so the drums resonate freely, while the Dynahoop adds tuning stability and a crisp, articulate edge. Sizes span 6" through 16", following the musical size structure of Yamaha’s flagship CT-900 line for a classic concert voice with extra depth.
