Impact Drum
Construction
Legs
The stable legs developed for the floor toms used with Yamaha drum sets have been customized to allow ample height adjustment range for standing performance with the FB-9000 series. The leg design has been refined in every detail to ensure that the beautiful resonance and tone of the drums are fully expressed.
Shells
The Impact Drums uses the same birch ply shells as the CB-7000 concert bass drum series, delivering rich low-frequency harmonics as well as outstanding definition and clarity. Although 14” is a common depth for small bass drums, all FB-9000 series models have 16” deep shells for extra sonic depth and dimension.
Heads
The top heads are Coated types, with an internal ring that effectively controls harmonics for well-defined tone. The bottom heads are Yamaha REMO Clear Ambassador types, further contributing to rich, musical tone.
Claw Hooks
The claw hooks feature the same traditional design that is highly regarded in marching bass drum models. The tops of the tuning bolts do not protrude above the top of the hoop, preventing contact while playing and allowing the player to concentrate more fully on the performance.
FT Brackets
The same type of clamping brackets used on high-end Yamaha drums (Absolute Hybrid Maple and Live Custom) are employed on the FB-9000 series. The legs are securely held between the clamping surfaces, effectively preventing slippage during the most dynamic performances.
Applications
With four sizes from 18″ to 24″, Yamaha 9000 Series Impact Drums can play a dual role in your school’s music program, acting as a low extension for concert toms or as a responsive high extension for concert bass drums. They provide punchy, deep tones with excellent projection and offer a wider choice of instrumentation for a variety of musical needs.
