Yamaha Absolute Birch Custom – 13:16:18:24 – Apple Sparkle Fade

Описание: Yamaha Absolute Birch Custom – 13/16/18/24 – Apple Sparkle Fade is a professional drum series produced in Japan, built with a focus on precise construction, stable hardware, and a controlled, focused response. The series represented Yamaha’s top tier of birch-based drum kits in the early 2000s. This kit is from 2004.

The shells are made from 100 percent Japanese Hokkaido birch, the same material used in Yamaha’s Recording Custom series at the time. This construction delivers fast response, clear attack, and controlled sustain. The bass drum features a thicker shell than the rack and floor toms, in line with Yamaha’s Absolute specifications from this period, providing increased stability and a more focused low-frequency response.

The drums are fitted with Yamaha Absolute hook lugs, and all chrome hardware is original Yamaha.

The finish is Apple Sparkle Fade, a transparent lacquer finish with a glitter effect, transitioning from red at the top to green toward the bottom. The finish is applied directly to the shells and sealed with clear coat. The surface is in very clean condition with minimal signs of use.

Service and condition

The kit has recently undergone a full service, including thorough cleaning and polishing of all hardware, lubrication of tuning rods, and inspection of threads and fittings. The drums are in excellent technical condition and ready for use. New batter heads are installed on the toms: Remo Emperor Clear. The resonant heads are original Yamaha-branded Remo heads made in the USA.
The bass drum has an almost new Remo Powerstroke 3 batter head and a Remo Ebony front head with Yamaha logo.

The kit is sold as a shell pack and includes legs for both floor toms and a single tom holder. Snare drum, stands, and cymbals are not included but can be purchased separately.
