In addition to the single air hole on the top of the shell on the beater head side, the Absolute Series provides four more holes around the front end of the shell. The extra air holes allow air to escape smoothly reducing backlash on the beater head as air returns from the front. For the same reason, 16-inch and 18-inch floor tom shells are designed with three air holes instead of the usual one. (Only Nouveau lug model) Air holes and Nouveau Lugs are all positioned at the shell’s nodal point to minimize influence and deliver maximum resonance from the shell.

Yamaha’s legendary ball mount & clamp has been providing drummers with extremely flexible and stable tom placement for over 20 years. Consisting of a large resin ball and wing bolt, this ingenious system incorporates an internal retaining plate to deliver maximum stability that will withstand the very rigorous performance.

A pipe post stabilizer providing height adjustment on the bass drum’s pedal side ensures that the beater makes contact at the head’s center. The stabilizer fits into a pipe clamp on the underside of the drum and is equipped with a memory clamp for quick and precise

setup. A pair of supports provides added stability.
