Yamaha has been building drums since 1967, and builds their drums by hand in Japan.  Many professional drummers have endorsement deals with Yamaha Drums. Yamaha has made many innovations in drum hardware. They were the first to introduce a hide-away cymbal boom stand and a locking hi-hat clutch.  The massive factory in Indonesia produces all hardware and the budget-line drums. Some 500,000 drums shells are shipped from this factory every year which is a crazy amount of shells.

Yamaha Drums has produces some of the best drums out in the market today even though the company is still young.  The elder of Yamaha's Maple drums lines is the Yamaha Maple Custom series.  The drums in this series featured 100% pure maple wood which is used in many drums and it is only rivaled by birch trees.  Maple is desirable for producing a warm tone, full sustain, and outstanding projection. This series is one of the most recognizable from Yamaha Drums because of its pairing of square gold plated lugs and steel hoops, the only of Yamaha's lines to do so.

Even though Yamaha Drums has been making drums for around only 40 years they are still some of the best quality and most recognizable drums in the world.  Yamaha is one of the most innovating companies so it is bound to make something that will completely leave the drum lovers in awe.
