SHELLS

The Yamaha Stage Custom inherits 100% Birch wood, formed into a 1.5mm, 6-ply shell with 45 degree bearing edges. Birch shells are one of the most popular choices amongst drummers for their ability to easily provide a warm tone with equal character in both the low and high end, with a very stable flat mid response. A wood that is bound to make a drum shell sing!

With all things musical, there are a lot of factors that contribute in producing a tone when it comes to acoustic instruments. Especially with drums! The Stage Custom comes with a 6-ply shell, which is considered to be of a medium thickness. A medium thickness again provides equal value and character in Fullness, Resonance, Sensitivity and Volume. The Stage Customs choice of Wood and Thickness provides players with an all-round sound, which is perfect for almost any application and an excellent choice for any developing drummer looking to upgrade their kit whilst still finding their own style.

In addition, the Stage Custom uses the Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System (YESS), which provides minimum contact of hardware with shell and is connected at the nodal point of the drum so that it doesnt interfere with the shells vibration. It also permits the rack toms to be positioned closer with higher flexibility and ease of set-up whilst maintaining minimum fuss for any head/tuning alterations.
