Birch Kit in Fun Bop Sizes

From the DNA of Yamaha's world-famous Recording Custom comes the all-birch Yamaha Stage Custom Bebop shell pack. This little kit is perfect for jazz, hip-hop, and light session work. Its thin 100% birch shells, in vibey bop sizes and complete with low-mass lugs and a lacquer finish, are free to resonate with warm, clear tones. Yet players of all stripes will revel in the birch's crisp snap and dry, cutting crack. Whether you're looking for an authentic bop kit or a travel-friendly stage companion, the Yamaha Stage Custom Birch Bebop shell pack aims to please.

Jazz drummer Kendrick Scott demos his Yamaha Stage Custom Bebop kit – here in Raven Black.

All-birch shells in fun bop sizes

Sweetwater drummers love maple drums. But if you've never experienced birch shells from behind the kit, you're in for a treat with the Yamaha Stage Custom Bebop shell pack. Its 6- and 7-ply birch shells boast a lively attack with warm, clear overtones, which speak openly at both high and low registers. So whether you play hip-hop, dance, Americana, or jazz, this kit delivers.

YESS tom mounting system

Yamaha's YESS mounting allows the high tom of your Stage Custom Birch Bebop kit to vibrate freely however you position it. The YESS mount and included tom holder make minimal contact with the drum, keeping contact to the nodal point of the shell so as not to inhibit sustain. A nylon clamp bushing provides maximum stability. Even better — the YESS system won't interfere with head changes between sets and takes.

Ships with Remo UT coated heads

In addition to the reduced shell sizing, the Stage Custom Birch Bebop ships standard with a set of coated Remo UT batter heads — Ambassador toms and a Powerstroke P3 bass — to capture those warm, woody, full-bodied tones.

Reviews

I Own Two Of These - Super Versatile and Mobile!
I've played these for more than 10 years and they fit great in the car, sound great (toms have excellent pitch and sustain if you like that), and that little 18x15 BD sounds awesome in a large room or mic'd - which is why I say the kit is so versatile. Natural finish looks good, but the honey amber is absolutely gorgeous! Coupled with nice dark HHs and washy crash ride, and hardware akin to the DW 6000 series, this kit a force to be reckoned with, while still being highly portable.
Music background: Former jazz trombonist, currently playing drums in worship settings and a country band. BM-Jazz Studies, NTSU (1985).
Incredible Quality & Value
I have a mint Premier Signia Maple Kit from the 90's that is phenomenal. I also have a Custom-Built Mahogany/Bubinga Bop Kit that I designed and was crafted by an amazing Drum Artisan in Portugal. My Raven Black Yamaha Stage Custom resides at our Cottage on an island in Canada where we will be heading this week for the summer, and I can't wait to play it. Looks and sounds amazing, and the hardware is rock solid. It is set up overlooking the Bay of Fundy and is absolutely heavenly to practice watching the waves.
If you are buying your first Kit or want a smaller footprint, this is the one. Will hold its own in any setting and exceed all expectations.

I own it and love it!
This kit looks amazing and sounds huge. I get nothing but compliments on this set. If you're on the fence about this set - Do yourself a solid and pull the trigger.
Music background: It's a long story my friend
Big Sounds
These small drums pack a big punch. I haven't even upgraded the heads yet. Aside from the fact that they're aesthetically pleasing to look at, they sound incredible too.
Stage Custom Bop Set
If you're looking for a great sounding Jazz Bop set, you won't be disappointed with the Stage Custom Bop Set. Tuned up high, it sounds great. And buy the matching snare. Put on your preferred heads of choice and start play.
