| 8200 Series Field-Corps Bass Drums |
| Designed for top marching
programs, Field-Corps bass drums provide a deep, resonant
tone, and forceful attack. From the focused tone of the smallest
size at 14" to the thunderous boom of the largest model at 32",
these bass drums are versatile enough for both indoor and
outdoor marching percussion activities. |
| Shell |
| The 7-ply birch/mahogany shell provides
a precise balance of deep, resonant tones and solid, punchy
attack. This shell configuration not only sounds great it
has a much lighter carrying weight than its all-hardwood
counterparts. |
| Air-Seal System Shells |
| All Yamaha bass drums are made using
the Air-Seal System™ which ensures that shells start
round and stay round: an in-round shell tunes clearer and
provides a pure fundamental tone. |
| 45 Degree Bearing Edge |
| The 45° bearing edge allows each
drum to speak clearly creating precise articulation |
| Aluminum Die-Cast Lug Design |
| The light, die-cast aluminum lugs are
designed with a unique arch-shaped center. This Yamaha original
straight-line design decreases surface to surface contact
between the shell and lug permitting the shell to vibrate
freely, which in turn results in greater tone production.
Lug designs are 26% lighter and 60% stronger than previous
models. |
| Hoops |
| 10-ply birch round edge hoops constructed
with our original Air-Seal System are utilized to deliver
the strength necessary for maintaining consistent uniform
tuning. |
| Claw |
The claw hook design delivers greater tuning stability. This unique feature reduces the stress on the tuning bolt under high-tension situations. This ensures easy turning when making tuning adjustments. The new wide-body claw hook design also reduces hoop damage, while delivering greater tuning stability.
|
| Tension Rod |
| 5.4mm steel tension rods provide easy,
consistent tuning without adding unnecessary weight. |
| Available in ten different sizes to
meet your needs. |
| Sizes range from 14"to 32"
covering a wide tonal spectrum. |
