Stage Custom Birch

As with the introduction of Stage Custom in 1995, Yamaha once again sets the standard for value and sound. The new Stage Custom inherits 100% birch wood and has 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 the 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.
