Akira Jimbo Yamaha Oak Custom

[scottie859]

You mean there's no triggers on these acoustic drums! I've seen a good few acoustic kits with triggering systems, more prominently on the kick than anything else!

[TheMojoBeat]

Nothing special about the drumming... But those drums sound amazing!

[scottie859]

Is the kick triggered!? And those arent triggers on the toms are they?? I see mic stands! Unless they're some sort of dampners?

[RutboyNiles]

@scottie859 They are definitely dampeners. No triggers on the acoustic drums.

[GreggWK]

Ele é fã da banda Toto, em várias partes do solo ele toca a música Rosanna

[spacitydrummer4JC]

Get off that kit and make me an egg-roll.

[marcoplebs]

@spacitydrummer4JC you're just an idiot...

[adrenalinjunkey100]

@spacitydrummer4JC ouch !!!!! watch what you say my nose started bleeding with that nasty shit you are saying.......GRETZ FROM GREECE :D

[AFatGypsyFanny]

i think the things on his tom are like moon gels but what they do is when hit they go up to let the drum vibrate then return to deaden the sound

[xkcdHatGuy]

Good chops, no style

[theostinato]

ninja!!! XD



[caixaebumbo]

Japa Nojento esse rsrs



[JoelSC21]

Anyone know what those are called on his toms? I saw someone mention triggers but I don't think triggers actually make contact with the head so I'm presuming they're used for dampening/preventing overtones

[drumdreamer92]

@JoelSC21 They look like little strips of felt.

[BowDownMufasa]

@JoelSC21

yea theyre triggers.

[BowDownMufasa]

@JoelSC21 ops sorry theyre not.

theyre just little dampening strips.

like moon gels? just a different style.

[TheMustachemurderers]

what size is the bass drum and what kind of heads are on there?, big help, thanks

[yamahadrummer666]

I have Oak Customs, I simply love them...

[gshdrums]

@yamahadrummer666 I have them to. There really nice.

[stiktrik]

I have read some notice from yamaha in their website, you can order custom drum kit with SIZE, lug model up to hardware, custom hardware (ex. remote hi-hat with new pedal model link), finish shell, and shell it self (include phx, oak and BEECH shell too), but it taking min. 6 months for process. Entry level drum like stage custom, tour custom, rock tour can't be custom order.

[ransisua]

Great playing. Beautiful sound.

[Ostrica391]

how the tom are tuned???? They are awesome! Please tell me the tuning

[WazzupDoc69]

bien pensé les amortisseurs sur les toms :P?

[20sanfoe]

One o the all time greats. The dude is amazing!

[307236]

whats on his heads

[dudewuttheheck]

@307236 im pretty sure those are triggers

[Moog168]

@307236 Coated Ambassador on the snare

Powerstroke 3 on the bass drum

Clear Emperors on the toms

[Wecklmania]

Akira the only ! And man his drum kit is well tuned =D

[LewisDijs]

Oak customs with absolute lugs do not exist. By the way. His signature snaredrum has a beech shell.

[stiktrik]

@LewisDijs exist! check Akira website akira-jimbo.uh-oh.jp/equipment­.html, it's oak custom Akira Jimbo Model with nouveau lugs.

[AAI6718]

What are those drum mufflers on the top of the toms that he's using? It's some kind of foam flap or something. The smallest tom doesn't have it.

[LewisDijs]

Definitely a beech custom

[LewisDijs]

Nice drum solo as expected but this is not an oak custom. Everything he has is beech custom & they are not discontinued because i recently bought a beech custom drumset and they are so awesome!

[XxStrongDrums1996xX]

@LewisDijs Then you bought a used kit. Beech custom is in fact discontinued.

[gshdrums]

@LewisDijs how do you know that he didn`t play a once off on a oak? Look how dark the wood is inside the shell.......

[stiktrik]

@soundgrdn look 14" and 16" tom-tom, it's have one leg floor tom for each tom-tom. it's Hybrid tom and only in Oak Custom Akira Jimbo model.

beech custom absolute was discontinued by Yamaha, and as Yamaha endorser and artist, Yamaha think Jimbo must have new custom drum for replace beech drum.

[stiktrik]

@stiktrik + hybrid tom in YD9000AJ Akira Jimbo

[stiktrik]

@soundgrdn, its Oak Custom Akira Jimbo model for medio 2005-2010 and sale for 25th Anniversary Akira Jimbo with Yamaha in very limited quantity.

if i'm not wrong, in 20th anniversary Casiopea concert (upload by user id: chrisbahen), Jimbo used oak Custom.

For 30th anniversary, Jimbo used the earlier series before Recording Custom, YD series (jp . yamaha . com/products/musical-instrumen­ts/drums/drumsets/yd9000aj/?mo­de=model), and it's for sale too, very limited quantity.

[drum4fun27302]

amazing double bass work . LRRLRR for ever !!!

[kenjim3500]

I think it is not Beech Custom...maybe it is Oak Custom Nouveau "Akira jimbo model"
