"When thinking about Yamaha drums and why I play them, the first word that comes to mind is tone. Yamaha makes the best sounding drums that money can buy!! Whether it's the tight and punchy sound of birch, or the wild, gnarly, thunderous tone of the Oak Customs, Yamaha makes a drum for every conceivable musical setting. The next word that comes to mind is consistency. Every Yamaha drum I have come across sounds great. If I need to use a rental kit on a fly date, I insist on Yamaha. And they're so easy to tune!! Give me a Yamaha drum set and some fresh heads, and I'll give you a great drum sound in a matter of minutes!" — Dave Harrison
