Description

With the introduction of the Stage Custom in 1995, Yamaha, once again, set the standard for value and sound. The new Stage Custom inherits 100% birch wood with upgraded 700 series hardware.
Shell
The shell is a key factor in the drum’s ability to « rumble » or resonate. Accordingly, the Stage Custom – a classic in the realm of high-class drum kits – employs 100% birch. Moreover, with its six-ply structure, the Stage Custom accurately conveys the vibrations produced at the impact surface, achieving performance that transcends anything in its class.
Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System (Y.E.S.S.)
The secret of our Y.E.S.S. system is twofold: first, it ensures minimum contact between the hardware and shell, and second, it connects that hardware to 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. Y.E.S.S. also allows toms to be placed together without interfering with quick head changes, and on floor toms, Y.E.S.S. offers wide open sustain while keeping toms stable under the heaviest strokes.
Ball Mount and Clamp
A tribute to Yamaha design technology, our original ball mount and clamp have not changed much 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 and tuning of the bottom head by simply rotating the drum.
700 Series Hardware
New to the Stage Custom Birch kit is the 700 series hardware. Pro players demand flawless reliability, and here it is in one complete hardware package. The 700 series offers streamlined design and outstanding stability in lightweight, single-braced hardware. Sleek and stylish and above all else- reliable.
