Yamaha QD-8313 Quad Flagship Tom Maple Shell with Carrier (QD8313 QD 8313)

Built on a foundation of experience and an enviable track record at some of the world’s top fields, the QD/QT/ST-8300 Series features a new design with an extra deep cut as well as support for high-tension tuning.

Maple, performance proven through the DCI championships, has been chosen for the shells. Original Yamaha high-pressure air bag shell forming technology* creates maple shells that exhibit sharp attack and wide dynamic range for complex, expressive sound.

In addition to an aluminum insert ring inside the shell (on all except the 6” model), large washers are provided below the lugs to allow high-tension tuning. Shell deformation is prevented, and pitch remains stable.2.3mm steel Ultra Hoop with unique inward profile helps to protect the bearing edge from mallet sweeps.
The shell is notably deeper than normal, for stunning power and projection.This head is an ideal choice for high tension tuning, bringing out the full resonance of the shell.A sophisticated badge design adds a touch of class to the new series.
