The Yamaha Stage Custom Birch 5-piece shell pack with 22" bass drum delivers professional-level performance and renowned Yamaha craftsmanship in an accessible package. Featuring 100% birch shells, this kit is designed to produce a crisp, focused tone with exceptional projection and clarity. The 22x17" bass drum provides a commanding low end, while the 10x7", 12x8" rack toms, and 16x15" floor tom create a balanced, versatile sound profile that excels in live and studio environments. It also includes a 14x5.5" snare drum with plenty of snap. Yamaha's signature Air Seal System ensures each shell is perfectly round and consistent for optimal resonance and durability. Finished with a high-gloss lacquer, this kit combines stunning aesthetics with road-ready reliability, making it an essential choice for drummers seeking tonal precision and build quality.

Acoustic Drum Set With 100% Birch Shells for Focused Tone

The birch shells in this drum kit are crafted to deliver a bright, focused sound with exceptional articulation. Birch is prized for its ability to enhance higher frequencies while maintaining a tight, punchy low end, resulting in a balanced tonal range that cuts through mixes with ease. The precise construction ensures consistent resonance across each drum, making them highly responsive to dynamic playing. Whether performing live or recording in the studio, the tonal clarity of these shells ensures every detail of your drumming is captured with accuracy.

Drum Shells With Air Seal System for Superior Resonance

Yamaha's proprietary Air Seal System ensures each drum shell is perfectly round and consistent in thickness, which enhances resonance and tuning stability. This process involves meticulously shaping and assembling the plies under consistent air pressure to guarantee optimal shell integrity. The result is a drum kit with superior tonal balance and sustain, allowing drummers to achieve precise tuning and effortless projection. The Air Seal System is a hallmark of Yamaha's commitment to craftsmanship and performance, ensuring reliable sound quality in demanding environments.

High-Gloss Lacquer Finish for Stunning Visuals

The high-gloss lacquer finish on this model showcases Yamaha's attention to detail and aesthetic excellence. This durable finish not only enhances the natural beauty of the birch wood grain but also provides long-lasting protection against wear and tear. Available in a variety of striking color options, the finish reflects light beautifully, making these drums visually captivating under stage lighting or in studio setups. The lacquer also contributes to the shells' tonal resonance by allowing the wood to vibrate freely, ensuring every performance sounds as good as it looks.

Reliable Yamaha Signature Hardware for Serious Musicians

This shell pack features Yamaha's signature hardware, designed to provide stability and ease of use during setup and play. The YESS (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System) tom mounts isolate the drums from the hardware, allowing them to resonate freely for improved tonal clarity. The ball-and-socket tom holders offer flexible positioning while maintaining a secure connection, making it easy to adapt the setup to your playing style. With durable lugs and reinforced spurs, this kit is built to withstand the demands of frequent use without compromising performance.

Drum Set Perfect for Gigging Drummers and Studio Artists

The Yamaha Stage Custom Birch 5-piece shell pack with 22" bass drum is designed for drummers who need reliable performance and tonal precision. Its lightweight construction and durable hardware make it easy to transport for gigs, while the focused sound of the birch shells ensures clarity in recording sessions. Whether you're a touring professional or a studio artist, this kit provides the craftsmanship and dynamic response to elevate your playing. Experience Yamaha's legacy of excellence with this expertly crafted drum kit.

Totally satisfied.

I've used this kit for everything for gospel, rock, reggae, blues, jazz, funk,...and it fits right in. These shells are 100% birch and tune up very easily. I got the 20" bass drum (super punchy) with a 16" floor tom. I'm to stalky satisfied with this kit. The toms just sound perfect. The snare has 10 lugs and isn't the best but more than does the kohn(it's 100% birch as well). Since Yamaha doesnt make a configuration for the stage custom birch with a 20" kick and 16" floor tom the store manager at my guitar center made some magic happen for me and got me what I needed

Terrible mismatch of photos and description

Uninformed store, misleading photos and terrible description. All these caused us to get this product thinking that we are getting a drum-set, but all it was, 5 piece of drums, nothing else.

    These drums were a gift for my son. He loves them! He was particularly excited about how good the snare sound is. He has been playing these nonstop. I would recommend to anyone who is a beginner drummer. Just remember it does not come with cymbals or stands, snare stand, kick pedal, or throne.

  • Great Kit!! Great Price!!

    Using this in a small home studio, but would be great live too. Wasnt expecting the sound to be as great as it is, especially the kick. I've always used maple, for over 15 years. After a lot of research on Yamaha, I felt this was a good fit. It far exceeded my expectations!!

    I purchased this set in the Deep Blue Sunburst color, the fit and finish is beautiful. The tom mounts are great and stay where you put them. The sound, even with the stock heads is good. This is a great set for the money and I would recommend them highly.
