Drum set from Yamaha Stage Custom Birch series. As with the introduction of Stage Custom in 1995 YAMAHA once again sets the standards of value and sound. The new Stage Custom inherits 100% birch wood, with upgraded metal parts.

Shell: The shell is a key factor in a drum's ability to "rumble," or resonate. Accordingly, the Stage Custom employs 100% birch - a classic in the realm of high-class drum kits. Moreover, with its six-ply structure the Stage Custom accurately conveys the vibrations produced at the impact surface, achieving performance that overwhelms anything in its class.

Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System – YESS: The secret of our YESS system is twofold: First, it provides minimum contact of hardware with shell; second, it connects that hardware at the nodal point of the drum - the point at which it will not interfere with shell vibration. Nylon bushings on rod clamps afford maximum stability. The YESS system permits toms to be placed close together, and does not interfere with quick head changes. On floor toms, our YESS system offers wide open sustain while keeping toms stable under the heaviest strokes.

Die-cast claw hook: New Stage Custom adopts Die-cast claw hooks with rubber insertion plates to reduce noises.

BD leg with stopper: Bass drum legs of Stage Cutsom have the stoppers to make setting easier.
