Yamaha – SBS1455NW Stage Custom Birch Snare Drum – Natural Wood

Yamaha has once again raised the bar with the Stage Custom, introduced in 1995. This drum kit features a range of new and upgraded components that deliver unmatched value and sound quality.

One of the standout features of the Stage Custom is its 100% birch shell, a classic material that has long been favored by high-end drum manufacturers. This six-ply shell is designed to accurately transmit the vibrations produced at the impact surface, resulting in a clear and responsive sound.

The Stage Custom also features a triple-flange steel hoop that can be used in any situation to produce an open and dynamic sound. Additionally, the snare drum includes a unique R1, 45° bearing edge that is specifically designed to produce a sharp and responsive tone. Yamaha has spent over 40 years developing a range of bearing edge designs that offer different tonal characteristics and depths.

The snare bed is another crucial component of the Stage Custom, with a standard depth of 1.8mm that ensures optimal snare effectiveness. The strainer system includes both B type (Release) and P type (Butt) options, allowing for fine-tuned control over the snare sound.

Finally, the high-tension one-piece lugs on the Stage Custom are designed to handle even the most extreme head tensions, ensuring consistent sound quality and performance. With all of these features and more, the Yamaha Stage Custom is the perfect choice for drummers who demand the best in value and sound quality.
