Superior Shells The use of our original Air Seal System is, in part, responsible for the superior quality found in Yamaha drum shells. Select woods are cut into plies, positioned with staggered diagonal seams, and sealed together with evenly distributed air pressure. The resulting shells are perfectly round and of uniform thickness delivering superior tone quality and exceptional durability.All Oak Shell Utilization of Yamaha's Air Seal system allows for the first time use of oak in a drum shell. As in our Maple and Birch series, this process delivers a shell that's perfectly round, with uniform thickness and excellent durability. The bass drum shell is 7 plys while the toms and floor tom shells are 6 plys. All shells throughout the entire range deliver a solid fundamental and powerful sound.Oak Shells are Universal Sizes Oak Custom shell depths are sized in between our "jazz" depth and "power" depth drums.
