Your cart is empty.Continuing on the success of the highly acclaimed Yamaha Stage Custom series comes the new Stage Custom Birch (redesigned for 2014). Already considered to be among the best drum sets in its class, the new generation Stage Custom Birch has received several significant upgrades. Yamaha upgraded the shells with the same thicker ply concept used on Live Custom and rounded the bearing edges for more head to shell contact, which provides a fatter sound. Additionally, the shells contain the Absolute-style lug (typically found on Yamaha’s higher-end kits), die-cast claws and new bass drum spurs, a ten-lug snare drum, a beautiful badge, new tom depths, and a brand new Pure White color option. Ideal for beginners and pros alike, the Yamaha Stage Custom Birch provides high end Yamaha quality at a great value. This product is a Snare Drum; 14 x 5.5 Inches.

Honey Amber finish on these shellsIs absolutely gorgeous. The thickness of the shells allows them to resonate and have pretty good punch but leave room for sensitivity.I have pieced together this kit because I could not find all of the particular shell sizes in one shot.I got a really killer deal on this bass drum and I have always wanted an 18 inch drum. I am still running the stock heads on all of these shells and they sound really great.It all started with the 10 lug snare drum. I was so impressed with the drum that when I discovered the rest of the kit was out there, I went for it.YAMAHA has always been top quality no matter what they make. It is definitely reflected in this drum set.You are getting the value of a much higher end drum set in the way that they produce the shells for the money.I’m going to order the 16 inch floor Tom when it comes back in stock.This would be a really great kit for someone that is on the budget, or a second kit, or something smaller for gigging.I have not recorded with it yet so I don’t know what that sound like maybe I will change my review once I do so

This review is for the 12†rack Tom, 14†floor and 20†kick, all in natural finish. While overall very happy with the construction and sound of the Birch shells, I made the following updates: lubed up the lugs (Latin Percussion makes a great lube), and changed out the flimsy stock heads (Emperor batters, clear Ambassador resonants on the toms, and Evans EMAD2 on the kick, my personal taste). Added nylon sleeved tension Rod washers for better tuning and less metal on metal, and upgraded the hoops to 2.3mm for more mass. The result is a great sounding, responsive and gig-worthy kit. Still a bargain even after the updates!

Got this from Amazon Warehouse at a great price. It is a great drum. Turns out is really too big to be practical. The physical size is ok for me because it will stay at home. But it is probably too big in sound too. It resonates loud and long, even with an Evans EC2 head on top. Had to use a couple of gels. Then the frequency is so low, it might be hard to hear in a live music environment without miking. But then the overtones might cause a miking problem. So consider the above for your application. It happens to be ok for mine. If interested, it can also be converted for use as a bass drum too with some added expense for parts.

I am a hobbyist--albeit a serious one who plays daily--so it makes no sense for me to spend thousands of dollars on equipment. The Yamaha tom sounds great and the slightly larger circumference makes such a difference in moving from snare to tom and from one ride tom to the other. And, it came fully assembled!

I got the 20†diameter, to beef up the kick on my bop set. The 18†pdp bass the kit came with is fine for all intensive purposes, but man, you just can’t beat Yamaha drums, especially at this price. Looks great, sounds great and does exactly what I need it to do.

This may well be the best in its class and even beyond. For example, they are far superior to the Pearl offerings, and cost less! How? You ask. Well, this is a stain, not a wrap (so, better sound). The Yamaha 8" tom has five lugs, not four (again, better sound!). This is all birch; others: poplar or some other ambiguous inferior wood. And the mounting bracket blows away every other kind!! Easy decision. I'm very glad these can be purchased individually.
