Used Yamaha 9000 16x16 Recording Custom Floor Tom White Wrap

Used Vintage Yamaha Recording Custom 9000 Series Floor Tom White Wrap - Made in Japan

The Yamaha Recording Custom 9000 Series is one of the most influential drum lines ever produced. Manufactured in Japan and developed during Yamaha's rise to dominance in the professional drum market, the Recording Custom became the standard by which countless studio and touring drums were measured. Its focused attack, controlled sustain, and exceptional consistency helped make it a favorite among recording engineers, producers, and professional drummers around the world.

This Used Vintage Yamaha Recording Custom 9000 Series Floor Tom features a white wrap finish. While most Recording Custom drums from this era were offered in lacquer finishes, which means that this white wrap is likely an aftermarket modification.

Built in Yamaha's renowned Japanese factory, this drum showcases the craftsmanship and attention to detail that established the Recording Custom as one of the most respected production drum series in history. The all-birch shell delivers the focused attack, quick response, and controlled sustain that made Recording Customs a studio staple throughout the late 1970s, 1980s, and beyond.

Birch has long been prized for its naturally EQ-friendly character, producing strong attack, excellent projection, and a clear fundamental note that sits effortlessly in a mix. These qualities helped make the Recording Custom one of the most recorded drum series of all time, and many drummers still consider the original Japanese-made examples to be among Yamaha's finest achievements.

Whether you're restoring a vintage Recording Custom kit, searching for a period-correct addition to an existing setup, or simply looking for a professional-grade vintage floor tom with exceptional pedigree, this drum offers the sound, craftsmanship, and collectibility that have made the Recording Custom name legendary.

This drum is in good vintage condition with signs of age and use consistent with its vintage status. Please review all photos carefully for complete cosmetic condition details.
