The Stage Custom Birch is Yamaha's mid-priced all-birch kit, sold here as a five-piece shell pack with a 22-inch bass drum and the HW-780 hardware pack. Birch gives it a quick attack, short decay and tight, well-separated tone that cuts through a band mix better than softer-shell kits. The hand-lacquered finish and separate lugs borrow from Yamaha's high-end lines, and the single-braced 700 series stands keep the hardware light for gigging. It suits working drummers and serious beginners who want one kit for practice, recording and live shows.

Owners rate it very highly, praising the birch tone, the finish and the reliability of the included hardware. Most criticism centers on the snare and on the hardware being lighter duty than double-braced packs.
The Yamaha Stage Custom Birch is a 5-piece drum kit with a 22-inch bass drum and a complete 700 series hardware pack. It comes in a Deep Blue Sunburst finish. Yamaha has made the Stage Custom line since 1995.
The shells are 100% birch, which gives a short decay, quick attack, and a tight sound with good separation. The finish is hand-lacquered, and wood grain varies from kit to kit. Metal parts like those on Yamaha's high-end kits are used throughout.
The hardware pack uses lightweight, single-braced 700 series stands with a streamlined design. The hoops are 1.5mm triple flange steel, and the drums have separate lugs.
