"Yamaha Drums are consistent in quality, from the beginner ranges right through to the professional."

"Yamaha drums are the sound I hear in my head before I play. I have played Yamaha Drums all throughout Australia, Europe, US and the UK, and I am constantly bowled over by the sound. They make me want to play. Also, I couldn't work without the sampling capabilities of DTX Electronics - the ease at which they work, and the sound reproduction capabilities are second to none, which is an absolute necessity for the artists I work with. I have worked with some of the best sound engineers in the world, and they always ask how I get such a full sound from electronics. Yamaha is the answer."

“The thing that matters most to me as a working musician is reliability. I have owned Yamaha gear since I purchased my first keyboard back in the mid 80s (a DX9) and I honestly say that they have never let me down! Everyone talks about how great the acoustic and electric piano sounds are in the Motif, but I really love the big fat synth sounds that it can produce! Just an awesome keyboard."

“Yamaha drums are consistently easy to play, easy to tune and versatile. Most importantly, they sound incredible!”

Anton was born in Cape Town, South Africa, and started playing the drums at age four. He moved to Boston in the USA when he was 17 and studied both jazz and classical music at the New England Conservatory, graduating in 1975. The following year he moved to New York and began making his name as a freelance musician. He soon met Letterman show MD Paul Shaffer on a session for Joan Armatrading, but it was almost ten years before he got the chance to join Shaffer on the Letterman show.

“I love the sound of vintage drum kits, and Yamaha has recreated this sound with the Club Custom kit, in a new, sturdy and reliable way. The drums sound and look great!”

“Yamaha drums really are the most versatile drums on the market. You can see in their diverse range of artists, huge catalogue of drums, outstanding craftsmanship and the fact that they have been in the business for more the 40 years. For me, they tune well at any pitch, contain detailed timbre and sonic qualities and work well in any musical format.”

"I'm proudly sending out the Motif's piano, Wurlitzer and Rhodes sounds with symphony orchestras at the moment, and fitting in easily despite being the only purveyor of synthesized wave forms."
