Easy-traveling 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.

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.

Snare drum not included

Great Set

You will not find another set at this price that sounds so good. Of course this Bop set is great tuned up high for Jazz but I use them tuned low in a rock setting, you would believe how huge these drums sound. The lacquer finish is beautiful... been very impressed with the attention to detail of Yamaha. To quote Ferris Bueller "If you have the means I highly recommend picking one up"

Amazing drum set for my kid

This was for my 10 year.old boy who's been playing for 2 years. It fits him well, and it has plenty of room to grow. I can see him keeping this for the rest of his life.

It comes with decent heads, but the shells and hardware are top notch. Yamaha has a great product for a great price.

Very Cool Little Kit

Another winning, affordable, drum kit from Yamaha. I presumed at this price it would have a plain black paint, but it's a very nice semi-transparent stain, and looks great. Comes with coated Remo Weatherking Emperor batters, which are well-suited to jazz, but changing heads and tuning opens up the versatility of the kit, including plenty of thump from the bass drum, if you want it. We're digging it.
Rated 4.5/5

Yamaha set

I currently have 4 drum sets, I've had many sets over the years. This is my favorite set.
My band will play music from the style of John Denver to Deep Purple, works well in every genre of music. I am short with short arms so I particularly like a smaller drum sets. This set sounds like a very large set even though it is small.
