Yamaha brings back Recording Custom drums

Yamaha is bringing back a re-designed version of its Recording Custom Drum Series later this year.

Originally launched in 1975, the Recording Custom series (or 9000 series as it was known then) has become an industry standard for leading drummers, engineers, studio’s and hire companies. The new kit has been re-designed with drummer, Steve Gadd. 

He explained: “For the past three years I have been meeting with the research and development guys at Yamaha with the aim of bringing the Recording Custom Series up to date. I told Yamaha what I thought throughout the process. The result is that everything is a step up, yet they still feel like the Recording Custom. I think we did a great job, the drums sound great and am excited to see them unveiled so people can see and importantly hear them.”
