Yamaha Stage Custom Birch - Deep Blue Sunburst

Yamaha Stage Custom Birch - Deep Blue Sunburst

Looking to step up your drumming game without breaking the bank? The Yamaha Stage Custom Birch kit delivers the legendary tone once reserved for high-end kits, making it a perfect choice for working professionals and serious beginners alike. Crafted entirely from 100% birch, these shells produce a naturally bright, punchy, and focused sound. Birch is beloved in recording studios for its ability to cut through a dense mix, emphasizing the high and low frequencies while controlling the midrange. This results in a tight, articulate attack and a rapid, controlled decay, giving you powerful fills and a snappy backbeat every time.

Yamaha’s construction pedigree shines through with their Air Seal System, ensuring every shell—6-ply on the toms and snare, 7-ply on the kick—is perfectly round and built to last. The shells feature precise 45-degree bearing edges that maximize the vibration transfer from the head to the wood, delivering exceptional tone and sustain, which is further enhanced by the low-mass Absolute-style lugs that minimize contact with the shell. Pair this with the revolutionary Y.E.S.S. (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System) tom mounts, and your rack toms will sing wide open, just like the custom kits played by icons like Dave Weckl, Carter Beauford, and Larry Mullen Jr.

Finished in a gorgeous, hand-applied Deep Blue Sunburst high-gloss lacquer, this shell pack offers premium visual appeal that matches its world-class sound. This is a kit built with the functionality and quality of Yamaha’s acclaimed higher-end lines, ensuring you get decades of performance, whether you're laying down grooves in the studio or tearing up the local club circuit.
