Yamaha Stage Custom Birch 18x15 Bass Drum, Honey Amber

I ordered the last black snare at the time. Received the snare in good condition. Packaged very well to hopefully prevent damages during shipping which I’m happy for. Looks absolutely beautiful upon removing from package but out of tune. Attempted to tune sounds awful and rattling noises heard somewhere. Disassembled entire drum and discovered about 80-85% of all the hardware screws were all loose. Rechecked and retightened all screws reassembled and sounds much much better. Still not as snappy or deep as I wanted. The snare did come with Remo’s bottom of the barrel skins which are probably the cause of sound otherwise for a cheap snare it’s definitely worth it’s value. Absolutely change skins asap and possibly upgrade to better hardware and I’m sure this thing would sound pretty good. Best of luck with purchase.

This may well be the best in its class and even beyond. For example, they are far superior to the Pearl offerings, and cost less! How? You ask. Well, this is a stain, not a wrap (so, better sound). The Yamaha 8" tom has five lugs, not four (again, better sound!). This is all birch; others: poplar or some other ambiguous inferior wood. And the mounting bracket blows away every other kind!! Easy decision. I'm very glad these can be purchased individually.

Good value for a rack tom drum.

This 24x15 drum is exactly the sound I hoped it would be. It sounds like it cost 2 or 3 times what it actually costs. I am not a professional musician, so your mileage may vary, but for drumming for my own personal enjoyment, it's amazing. You can tune it low and feel more of the bass, or you can tune it higher and hear more of it. And you can control the resonance by the relationship of the two heads tuned with or without each other. I like a lot of resonance, and it does not disappoint. I don't currently feel a need to change the heads. This thing slaps right out of the box.

Estoy contento con la compra porque es excelente redoblante, GRACIAS ; no subí la foto porque no tengo mi Drumset aquí

The media could not be loaded.  I normally play bass drums 14 inches deep or less. I took a chance on this since I had toms and a snare drum that matched and am still getting accustomed to the added depth. One would think that an extra inch would not pose problems, but I play heel down and depend on rebound. I also tend to feather my bass drum notes and the extra inch has thrown me off a bit. Bit, no problem because I go by the adage that "it's a poor crafts person who blames his or her tools."The only change I made is swapping the heads out for a Remo Coated Ambassador for the reso head and a Remo PS3 coated pinstripe for the batter. The beater used in the video is a Vater Vintage Bomber with fluffy beater.As you (should) hear, the bass drum has a lot of attack even with the fluffy beater and my normally quiet playing style. I've come to appreciate the sound and tone, but am still in the process of controlling the dynamics. That will some in time.The construction is impeccable. I am impressed because I also own some custom kits as well as a DW kit and this budget-priced model is every bit as good as those.It does NOT come with a tom mounting system, so add that to your additional expenses if you don't already have one. Other than that, and new heads (which I strongly recommend) this drum is ready to tune up and go, It's tone greatly exceeded my expectations, and it has a very wide tuning range from JAW (Just Above Wrinkle) to high, bop tuning a la Tony Williams, Elvin Jones, Art Blakey, etc.

This Drum sounds great and a very reasonable price!

Excellent quality drums you can buy one at a time to build exactly the kit you want. OR, buy one of their sets and save even more. Love the sound of these Birch shell drums.
