- We had Steven Fisher in the Sam Ash studio to give us a first hand look at the Yamaha Tour Custom! This beautiful maple kit is sure to impress, so let's have a look.
Great sounding kit, made with North American maple, European maple too, 6 ply, dyna hoops 2,3 mm and absolute lugs.
Almost like the old absolute maple custom with dyna hoops, 6 ply, and absolute lugs. Except that the bass drum was 10 ply.
The maple custom old one was a 7 ply toms, 10 ply bass drum and die cast hoops.
Absolute maple custom newest version had the die cast hoops too.
The older version was with dyna hoops.
Hi stepen thnaks for this great demo. As a longtime female gigging drummer herr in Australia ive been looking for a soild sounding lighter weight kit to ease the rigours of load in/ out and of course they sound sweetf. and tha Snare.... nice..... cheers Robyn
Do you think it would be worthwhile to sell pearl master custom mmx (90s) and buy the tour custom?
I NEED Tom 8" (tour custom )😰
They have em now! Released 2024
What's the difference between studio and tour kit?
Michael Serrano Do you mean a Tour Custom Standard and Tour Custom Studio?? Well, a „standard“ Kit will have a 16“ FT and a 22“ BD and a „Studio“ Kit will have 14“ FT and 20“ BD. And a „Rock“ Kit will have 22 BD and 14“+16“ FT. RTs are the same 10“+12“
the wood and the # of plys
Are these as lightweight as everyone says?
I bought one for funsies (am not a drummer) and chose Yamaha for their reputation and the positive reviews. So from my perspective it seems certainly light enough
pak kalo saya beli harganya berapa itu, lokasi kota Jakarta ada yang jual Ndak, ..
WHY? so i purchased the tour custom with the 20" kick. I wanted to add the 16" floor tom. However with the 20" you can not add it. You can add the 14" floor tom when you buy the 22" kick set?
No, with the 22“ comes the 16“ Tom
Exactly, with the 22" kick you can add a 14" floor tom. But with the 20" you can't.
And I will buy this kit soon, with the 20" 10/12/14 kit but I will add maybe a 16" stage custom or hybrid maple absolute floor tom .
@Andreas Reiterer
Yes dear friend, but if you buy a 22" you can add a 14" floor tom to complete your full set. Cause Yamaha individually offer only the 13" tour custom tom and 14"floor tom for add.
But Yamaha don't sell the 16" individually.
I would like to buy a 20" kick tour custom with the 10/12/14 and the 16" floor tom à la Kendrick Scott.
I guess I will buy a 16" stage custom or a 16" hybrid maple absolute floor tom individually for my future tour custom 20" .
Don't waste your time buying pre packaged kits. These kits are for people who don't know what they want. If you know what you want don't buy a prepacked kit. That's like going to McDonalds and ordering a #4 but with tater tots instead. Just buy what you want.
@@lieutenantcolumbo114 It's annoying Yamaha do this. I would like to get just the 20'' kick as an add on but you can't do that either
Nix the satin finishes,
The previous version of Tour Custom was better. IMHO.
I respect tour opinion, for me both sounds great.
This new tour custom sounds as good as the old absolute maple custom and as good as the old maple custom too.
If you looks at reviews, and Yamaha specifications about the tour custom, it made with North American maple, European maple too, 6 ply, dyna hoops 2,3 mm and absolute lugs.

Tour custom snare sounds better with this kit.
Verses a different kit? Did you just make a comment to make a comment or are you really the type of guy who thinks a snare goes with a particular set?
I remember the 90's when I would read all the marketing wankery... Now 30 years later it makes me want to puke.
Maple version of the stage custom with a higher price 🤷♂️
Robert DiRocco tour customs are made with North American maple, stage customs made with Chinese birch. That warrants a higher price especially with how much better it sounds than the SC lol
@@zenoncastro1809 Doesn't sound that much better imo, at least not as much as the price difference that's for sure.
@@zenoncastro1809 mix of north american and chinese maple !
Actually they are quite a nice upgrade from the Stage Custom (not to knock them for sure, they are great for the price) but these are nicer quality shells with NA and European Maple and they are better finished than the stages. Nicer and sturdier 2.3 inverse hoops, 10 lug kicks and 8 lug floors (instead of 8 and 6), very well done satin finishes and an optional snare that is much nicer than the Stage snare. 🤔

Everything sounds great except the snare. It's tuned way too tight and choked out. Faten that snare up and you have a fantastic sound going on.
first
Too bad the hardware is complete garbage. Probably the worst quality iv seen from Yamaha. This kit wouldn't last 6 months with regular set up and skin change.
You mean hardware on the drum itself, like hoops tom mounts?
I own 3 yamaha's. A late 90's Beech custom, a early 2000 Nouveau, and a mid 2000 Stage custom. These are all good kits, average , but quality is good. I unpacked a new tour custom last week and the tops key bolts for the kick were out of round with rest of the bolt so it was impossible to tighten because it would get stuck in the claw. This is a major casting flaw. (Chinese manufacturing) I compared the key bolt to a 12 year old nouveau stage custom and the quality was way better on the NSC. The key bolts weighed more and were proper and straight. ( like they're suppose to be) Then I noticed that all the lugs were pitted. The chrome is way below average for a new kit. The reverse hoops are super thin and cheap. Again - really bad chrome job and bad metal. Over all this kit is a piece of shit. I feel bad for Yamaha as this quality is the lowest iv ever seen from such a reputable company. Sorry to be such a downer. I really like Yamaha. But the new stuff is sadly - junk. Unbelievable. I took it back to store and felt sorta depressed.
Omg. Didn't see new products my self that why I asked. One of the big good points about Yamaha was good durable hardware. I use to own previous tour custom 100% maple with 60% bearing edge. That was made in Indonesia, I see this one is Taiwan. Didn't know they have a factory there, know about China, but where does this fit in the lineup if it that bad. Also I have Yamaha Yd from 2000's, mahagoni shell. It was considered a budget drum set back then, but actually it is way better and good sounding kit than todays starter kits. And I think that Beech custom is very good drum. Have you ever had a problem with novue plastic lugs? They love to crack I heard
Yamaha stands are usually good. On the NSC, Iv never had a problem with the plastic nouveau lugs, but metal ones would be cool. The beech custom is my favourite.
You are extremely incorrect. I own this kit and the hardware is superb!
