Solid Drums for Solid Drummers - The Yamaha Drums 15 x 16-Inch Stage Custom Birch Floor Tom in Cranberry Red

With the introduction of the Stage Custom in 1995, Yamaha, once again, set the standard for value and sound. The new Stage Custom inherits 100 percent birch wood with upgraded metal parts.

Shell

The shell is a key factor in the drum's ability to "rumble" or resonate. Accordingly, the Stage Custom - a classic in the realm of high-class drum kits - employs 100 percent birch. Moreover, with its six-ply structure, the Stage Custom accurately conveys the vibrations produced at the impact surface, achieving performance that transcends anything in its class.

Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System (Y.E.S.S.)

The secret of Yamaha’s Y.E.S.S. system is twofold: first, it ensures minimum contact between the hardware and shell, and second, it connects that hardware to the nodal point of the drum—the point at which it will not interfere with shell vibration. Nylon bushings on rod clamps afford maximum stability. Y.E.S.S. also allows toms to be placed close together without interfering with quick head changes, and on floor toms, Y.E.S.S. offers wide open sustain while keeping toms stable under the heaviest strokes. *Nodal point mounting is patented by Noble and Cooley Drum.
