Sacha Kloostra


Yamaha Drums have always felt right to make music on. Whether recording on my kit at home or getting behind a hire kit, it’s always easy to get my setup and my sound right. The new Absolutes are ridiculous! I particularly love Yamaha hardware - it’s so light and compact yet so rigid and reliable - it’s integral to my setups
