The Yamaha Maple Absolute Nouveau is the celebrated work horse of Yamaha's professional Maple drum range. Packed with impressive features, and an unmistakable sound; this kit is the choice of the majority of Yamaha's impressive drum artist roster.
Air Seal System for Superior Shells. The use of Yamaha's original Air Seal System is, in part, responsible for the superior quality found in Yamaha drum shells.
100% Maple Shells.
Nouveau Lugs. The revolutionary design of the quick-release minimal-contact lug casings found on the Absolute Nouveau series are fixed to the drum shell by snapping onto a post that is anchored at the nodal point. This allows the drum to vibrate freely. They allow the heads to be changed in less time and reduce the risk of losing tension rods or washers. A special nylon insert prevents tension rods from becoming loose during play.
The aluminum die cast hoops give these drums the benefit of accurate tuning that die cast hoops are known for but are much lighter weight than zinc so they do not choke the drum like zinc die cast hoops do. They allow the drum to open up much like a triple-flanged hoop.
Sturdy hexagonal design bass drum spurs.
YESS (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System) mounting system is on all Absolute Nouveau toms and floor toms.
