YAMAHA STAGE CUSTOM BIRCH DRUM KIT – EURO CONFIGURATION
Cymbals not included – shown for illustration purposes only
Yamaha set a new standard with the introduction of the Stage Custom series in 1995. Now in 2020 Yamaha have raised the bar again.
The new Stage Custom delivers unparalleled value and sound with 100% Birch wood shells and upgraded fittings and hardware.
Complete with Yamaha 780 Series hardware this Euro configuration drumset consists of:
- 22″ x 17″ Bass Drum
- 10″ x 7″ and 12″ x 8″ Mounted Toms
- 16″ x 15″ Floor Tom
- Matching 14″ x 5.5″ Snare Drum
The Stage Custom simply oozes quality and for a limited time comes complete with an extra 14″ Floor Tom!
100% BIRCH PLY SHELLS
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 Yamaha’s YESS system is twofold:
– YESS absolutely minimises the contact of hardware with the drum shell
– YESS connects that hardware at the nodal point* of the drum
The nodal point is the critical point at which the tom mount 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 doesn’t interfere with quick head changes.
On floor toms, the YESS system offers wide open sustain while keeping toms stable under the heaviest strokes.
*Nodal point mounting is patented by the Noble & Cooley Drum Company.
BALL MOUNT AND CLAMP
A tribute to Yamaha design technology, their original ball mount and clamp has gone through very few modifications over the years. A large, ultra-hard resin ball sits in an attractive chromed housing, held in place with a titanium ergonomic wing bolt. It is the ultimate drummer-friendly mount, offering non-slip positioning virtually anywhere the drummer can imagine. Additionally, it permits tuning of the bottom head by simply rotating the drum.
DIE-CAST CLAW HOOK
The new Stage Custom adopts Die-cast claw hooks with rubber insertion plates to reduce unwanted noises.
BASS DRUM LEG WITH STOPPER
A simple yet effective innovation – on Stage Custom the bass drum legs utilise stoppers to make setting up easier.
HOOPS
The snare drum and toms all utilise 1.5mm triple flange steel hoops for maximum sustain. Triple-flange hoops allow the drums to resonate more fully and improve rigidity which is important for tuning. Their low mass design also helps to keep the overall weight down.
