The Absolute Series produces a well-balanced rumble.
The Hook Lug has been redesigned by thoroughly improving our innovate hook-type Nouveau Lug (used in the conventional Absolute Series) in every aspect. At the same time, the greatness of the lug's basic concept has been maintained. It can be said that the Hook Lug is truly a next-generation lug that transcends conventional lugs with its acoustical effect and tuning stability, as well as with the sturdiness needed for high-tension tuning and the way it facilitates quick head replacement. As with the Absolute Lug, the lug nut holding plate and nylon ring within the lug nut control the slakening of the tuning bolt.
Y.E.S.S. II-m is an improved version of YAMAHA's original tom mount, known as the Y.E.S.S. (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System). Its unique design, which minimizes interference with the shell's natural response - which some call the "rumble" - has been adopted for the PHX Series and is highly praised by pro players worldwide. The Y.E.S.S. II, has been adopted for the Absolute Series, producing even longer sustain. In the Y.E.S.S. II-m mount system, the number of supported points (rubber spacers) is adjusted according to the size of the tom. For example, the number of supported points is minimal for a lightweight tom. For a heavyweight tom, rubber spacers, ranging in diameter from small to large, are carefully selected and distributed in order to modulate the rumbling caused by the weight of the drum. This results in clear response and well-balanced rumble from one drum to the next.
