Made from 100% birch wood, which has been used as a typical material for Yamaha drums for many years, is used to create same high functionality and quality as the high-end class. Stage Custom Birch is a solid drum for solid drummers.

Yamaha birch sound with a beautiful lacquer coating

The shells use 100% birch, which has been responsible for the distinctive sound of Yamaha drums for many years, and offers short decay, quick attack, and tight sound with good separation.

The coating specifications of the finish achieve the kind of beauty found in high-end drum kits. The individuality created by the variations in wood grain from natural wood, and hand lacquered finish will make your drum set unique.

Diversity that allows expression

The lineup of shell size variations is not limited to the standard kit configuration, but also includes single shells from 8" to 24" like those found in high-end drum kits. From small-diameter jazz kits to large-diameter huge rock kits, drummers can assemble their setup as they please. Yamaha Stage Custom kits embodies every aspect of your musicality.

Superior functionality that ensures its appeal as an instrument

Yamaha Stage Custom kits feature metal parts that are the result of our expertise as a comprehensive musical instrument manufacturer, combined with years of research and development.

The lugs (Absolute Lugs) utilize an internal lug locking mechanism, in which a lug nut hold plate inside the lug prevents the tension bolt from loosening while playing.

The Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System (Y.E.S.S.) makes no compromises in bringing out the natural sound of the toms, while the traditional ball mount and clamp allows for stress-free setup. These parts, which are also used in higher-end drum kits, allow Yamaha Stage Custom kits to achieve superior functionality beyond their class.
