YAMAHAStage Custom Birch 10x7 Mounted Tom, Raven Black

I got the 20” diameter, to beef up the kick on my bop set. The 18” pdp bass the kit came with is fine for all intensive purposes, but man, you just can’t beat Yamaha drums, especially at this price. Looks great, sounds great and does exactly what I need it to do.

Got this from Amazon Warehouse at a great price. It is a great drum. Turns out is really too big to be practical. The physical size is ok for me because it will stay at home. But it is probably too big in sound too. It resonates loud and long, even with an Evans EC2 head on top. Had to use a couple of gels. Then the frequency is so low, it might be hard to hear in a live music environment without miking. But then the overtones might cause a miking problem. So consider the above for your application. It happens to be ok for mine. If interested, it can also be converted for use as a bass drum too with some added expense for parts.

Excellent quality drums you can buy one at a time to build exactly the kit you want. OR, buy one of their sets and save even more. Love the sound of these Birch shell drums.

Shipped fast and arrived awesome. This 24” Bass Drum Has a huge sound almost sub synth kick drum sound straight out the box with stock heads. Super loud super low end thump you can feel in your chest. Just another amazing drum from Yamaha. I have the Tour custom maple toms but they don’t make a 24” kick or and 18” floor Tom so I got these sizes in the Stage Custom Birch and I feel great about the buy. Definitely recommend if you want that big Bonham kick sound

I doubt I could've found a better snare on here for the money. I use it to record rock and folk music. It's bright, lively, pleasant overtones.

This 24x15 drum is exactly the sound I hoped it would be. It sounds like it cost 2 or 3 times what it actually costs. I am not a professional musician, so your mileage may vary, but for drumming for my own personal enjoyment, it's amazing. You can tune it low and feel more of the bass, or you can tune it higher and hear more of it. And you can control the resonance by the relationship of the two heads tuned with or without each other. I like a lot of resonance, and it does not disappoint. I don't currently feel a need to change the heads. This thing slaps right out of the box. ... Edit on 05/26/24: I ended up getting a whole kit of these drums. I'm just a hobbyist, but they sound fantastic. I am very pleased.

The media could not be loaded.  I normally play bass drums 14 inches deep or less. I took a chance on this since I had toms and a snare drum that matched and am still getting accustomed to the added depth. One would think that an extra inch would not pose problems, but I play heel down and depend on rebound. I also tend to feather my bass drum notes and the extra inch has thrown me off a bit. Bit, no problem because I go by the adage that "it's a poor crafts person who blames his or her tools."The only change I made is swapping the heads out for a Remo Coated Ambassador for the reso head and a Remo PS3 coated pinstripe for the batter. The beater used in the video is a Vater Vintage Bomber with fluffy beater.As you (should) hear, the bass drum has a lot of attack even with the fluffy beater and my normally quiet playing style. I've come to appreciate the sound and tone, but am still in the process of controlling the dynamics. That will some in time.The construction is impeccable. I am impressed because I also own some custom kits as well as a DW kit and this budget-priced model is every bit as good as those.It does NOT come with a tom mounting system, so add that to your additional expenses if you don't already have one. Other than that, and new heads (which I strongly recommend) this drum is ready to tune up and go, It's tone greatly exceeded my expectations, and it has a very wide tuning range from JAW (Just Above Wrinkle) to high, bop tuning a la Tony Williams, Elvin Jones, Art Blakey, etc.

This may well be the best in its class and even beyond. For example, they are far superior to the Pearl offerings, and cost less! How? You ask. Well, this is a stain, not a wrap (so, better sound). The Yamaha 8" tom has five lugs, not four (again, better sound!). This is all birch; others: poplar or some other ambiguous inferior wood. And the mounting bracket blows away every other kind!! Easy decision. I'm very glad these can be purchased individually.

I bought this to go with my Stage Custom BOP kit and it is a perfect match. High quality construction. Excellent price.
