The Yamaha Stage Custom Birch is an acoustic drum set with shells made entirely of birch. Yamaha has used birch in its drums for many years. The shells are all-birch ply with a hand-lacquered finish, and the wood grain varies from set to set.
Birch gives the kit a short decay, a quick attack, and a tight sound with good separation. The lugs have an internal locking mechanism that keeps the tension bolt from loosening during play. The Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System (Y.E.S.S.) brings out the natural sound of the toms, and a traditional ball mount and clamp are used for setup.
Single shells are available from 8" to 24" in addition to the standard kit configuration. This lets a player build a setup from a small-diameter jazz kit to a large-diameter rock kit.
