Yamaha Tour Master Cases: Tough as Nails

ANAHEIM, CA — Yamaha Drums will debut the Tour Master Cases at Winter NAMM 2003, a new concept in drum transportation and protection for the gigging musician.

Constructed from a patented Roto-mold process, the "tough as nails" cases begin as a fine powder which is introduced into gigantic closed molds in carefully measured amounts, determining a final uniform wall thickness. The molds are then heated to 650 degrees Fahrenheit, changing the molecular structure of the powder, which transforms dramatically as it melts and coats the inside of the mold.

Once the rock hard case is removed from the mold, heavy duty strap and handles are attached. Padding then lines the top and bottom of the case – creating a totally protective environment for the drum. Sizes are available from 8 to 24 inches.

"Given the heavy-duty manufacturing process, the Yamaha Tour Master Cases will withstand real punishment and protect your investment for many years to come," states Dave Jewell, marketing manager, Yamaha Drums.
