Good value.

This kit is well built and sounds very good. I replaced the stock heads with a more premium head. Clear emperors on the toms, a single ply emad on the bass drum, and a coated ambassador on the snare. These drums are easy to tune. Very useable in multiple musical situations. I am not a fan of the floor tom spurs. But they are adjustable. The tom mounting system is quite functional. Great for a good general kit. I might consider adding a metal snare for certain situations but the included snare will get the job done. Yamaha provides excellent value for the price.

Excellent studio kit

I bought these shells for use as a workhorse studio kit, for artists who come to record and for my own playing. The value of this shell pack is insane considering how versatile and well-built these drums are. Thus far, I have not felt limited in dialing in any type of drum tone with a wide range of tuning and heads. However I find they excel at very natural sounding metal and rock playing, with a tight attack, quick decay, and satisfying harmonics at any tuning. I would feel equally comfortable using this kit on stage as I do in the studio, as the thin shells project in a very balanced way; never too gentle but never overbearing.

Very Impressed

I bought this kit to take to gigs, not wanting to take a larger, more expensive kit to put of the house any longer. I replaced heads with clear Emperors on batter side of all toms. The kick was replaced with an Emad 2 clear. I left all stock resonant heads on. I was really blown away by the sound of this kit, so much that I have used at the studio. Good amount of punch. Nice sustain and very well controlled when tuned right. Quality feel. This does not feel like a cheaper kit. Full transparency: I haven't used the snare yet. I'll probably add a 14" floor tom for a bit of versatility. Great sounding drums. Thanks Sweetwater and Yamaha.

Yamaha stage custom birch

I am a beginner drummer with 1 year of playing time under my belt,I went from a set of 2002 tama rockstar kit,I think they are Basswood,they sound ok and got me to the next level of my playing career.BUT WOW these yamaha stage custom birch are night and day in sound and especially tuning.they are great looking,the hardware is awesome just being able to put the toms where they best fit your playing style is everything,being comfortable and in the right position for attack is a game changer for me I have already noticed a lot more speed and workability with all three toms by putting them in a better position than I could with the older rockstars.I love my tama hardware that I have purchased from sweet water over the last year,I have been playing a tama SLP snare 8"x14" and it really fits well with this shell pack.what can I say the kit sounds amazing especially with the meinl custom dark cymbals I have 20" ride 20" crash 18" crash 16" crash and the 14" hi hat I am about to add a remote hi hat attachment and add a 16" set of hats custom darks of course.Josh trump is my sales reps we have working together over year now and he has helped immensely with every thing I have built great sales guy and a great team at sweetwater thanks guys for putting me on the right track for being a better drummer.

Great sounding drums at ANY price.

I am a lifelong drummer and used to endorse Mapex, played the Pro-M line for a while and recently bought a Saturn V MH Exotic kit... I had a recording session where the studio had a stage custom birch kit and instantly fell in love with the punch and resonance of these drums. The 20" kick sounds super tight and punchy. The snare is also awesome for an included snare. The toms are the easiest I've come across to tune and have nice attack and warmth. ...they are a ridiculous value. This would be my number one recommendation to beginner/intermediate drummers looking for a solid kit they can grow into, or even for professionals like myself who want a great kit at a low price that you won't be bummed taking on the road and dinging up a bit.

The other day I put heads on and tuned up both my kits (mapex Saturn v and stage customs) to the same tunings so I could compare the sound. I ended up PREFERRING the stage customs to my kit that's worth more than 3X the price. This is why my review says Great sounding drums at ANY price!

So I'm listing my more expensive kit for sale and making this my primary kit. Yamaha has a tradition of making QUALITY instruments that can compete with those many times the price. The same is true of my Yamaha acoustic guitar which... sounds and plays better than lots of Taylor's and Martin's...

The other thing I really dig is the YESS Tom mounting system. The ball joint is so easy to position the toms into your preferred setting and they don't move. Also if you ditch the 12" rack Tom and rock a 1 up 1 down setup like I and many drummers prefer, you can ditch the entire dual Tom clamp and just put the single Tom clamp for the 10" into the kick drum which looks very clean and professional.

As with any "entry level" kit changing the heads is a must for optimal sound. I like Evan's EC2 on the batter side for the toms and g1 reso side with an EMAD on the kick and G2 on the snare.

All in all this is an amazing kit at any price and I'd highly recommend these to beginner and pro drummers alike.
