Stage Custom

Since 1995 the ‘Stage Custom’ kits have been amongst the very best drum set for recognised value for money.

With superior design, look and sound the Stage Custom provides some of the features of Yamaha’s flagship Absolute series at a more affordable price.

Now made with a 100% Birch shell and featuring Yamaha’s YESS mounting system these drums sound, feel and perform way above many of the other manufacturers drum sets within this price range. The shells also come fitted with a fixed chrome lug as opposed to the nouveau lug system previously fitted as standard.

Choose from the following shell configurations all supplied complete with a full hardware set...

Tour Custom Series

Despite what the pricing would suggest this is very much a serious option for anyone looking for a quality shell at an affordable price.

100% maple shells combined with a 60-degree bearing edge ensure that the Tour Custom delivers sound, feel, performance and durability to suit even the most rigorous live schedule. Choices of lacquer finishes complement the quality of the shells.

Oak Custom Series

The Oak Custom comes in three different pre-configured shell packs, all drums are available individually so creating your own custom set up is easy.

The white oak shells produce a tone and feel that’s noticeable different from maple, birch or any other shell material, making it a great alternative for those looking for something different from what you’re used to hearing. Oak is a much harder wood than those traditionally used to make drums. The result is a much louder tone with very quick attack, particularly noticeable on the toms. Bass drums produce nice low resonant tones. Whilst this may not suit everyone for some this is a shell that will suit like no other.
