I was thinking the other day that as much as I love my Yamaha Custom kit, the rarity of the colour means I’ll probably never find any add-ons. The idea of a shell bank is pretty attractive – a 20″ bass drum would make the deeper toms a bit easier to position, or shallower toms … More Yamaha Custom Drums – Yet More Info
