Yamaha

collapse expand iconDescription

As with the introduction of Stage Custom in 1995 Yamaha once again sets the standards of value and sound. The shell is a key factor in a drum's ability to "rumble," or resonate. Accordingly, the Stage Custom employs 100% birch - a classic in the realm of high-class drum kits. Moreover, with its six-ply structure the Stage Custom accurately conveys the vibrations produced at the impact surface, achieving performance that overwhelms anything in its class.

The Stage Custom adopts die-cast claw hooks with rubber insertion plates to reduce noises, while the bass drum legs have the stoppers to make setting easier. Multiple sizes available.

    I currently have a 22-inch Stage Custom kick drum and I'm trying to downsize. Will my current 7/8-inch diameter tom mount that slides into top of the 22-inch kick also fit into the top of the 18-inch kick?
