Yamaha SBP2F5RB Stage Custom Birch Drum Shell Pack – Raven Black (Without Hardware)

The Yamaha Stage Custom is a renowned drum kit series that has consistently set new standards of quality, performance, and value since its introduction in 1995. With its innovative design and use of premium materials, the Stage Custom remains one of the most respected options for drummers worldwide. At its core, the shell is crafted from 100% birch, a material widely regarded for its warm, punchy tone and ability to resonate with clarity. The six-ply construction ensures maximum strength while allowing vibrations from the impact surface to project naturally, resulting in rich tonal quality across all components.

A key highlight of this drum set is the Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System, or YESS, which minimizes hardware contact with the shell and mounts at the nodal point where vibrations are least affected. This design enhances sustain, stability, and ease of head changes while enabling close tom placement for improved playability. The YESS system is especially beneficial for floor toms, providing open resonance without compromising strength under heavy strokes.

Adding to its drummer-friendly features is the ball mount and clamp system, a Yamaha innovation that allows flexible, non-slip positioning of toms. Its resin ball and ergonomic titanium wing bolt provide both strength and precision, while the ability to rotate the drum for bottom head tuning makes adjustments seamless. The kit also includes die-cast claw hooks with rubber inserts to reduce unwanted noise, and bass drum legs with stoppers to simplify setup and maintain stability during performance.

Every detail of the Stage Custom has been engineered to deliver professional-grade reliability at an accessible price point. Combined with Remo drumheads and upgraded hardware, this kit is an excellent choice for drummers seeking versatile sound, durability, and Yamaha’s trusted craftsmanship.
