I've been playing other brands before buying my very own kit, and as soon as I played on a Stage Custom I knew exactly what I wanted myself - And got it as soon as I could. And after 6 months of use, I can say this buy was a great one!
It sounds amazing, and for a cheap price as this shell pack is, any drummer should honestly have one of these kits in their disposal. It'll probably be my main kit for many, many years to come, and Yamaha has been a brand I've fallen in love with so much over the last months.
I use all Evans heads. G2 + Genera Reso heads on all toms, ST Dry + Snare Side 300 on the snare, and EQ3 + Yamaha Factory reso on bass drum. Sounds professional and amazing.
Easy to assemble, looks great where ever I set it up and I usually get compliments for how good it looks and sounds. The mounting system on the toms is something I've not used before (Y.E.S.S), but it's amazing.
Pros:
- Price
- Adjustability
- Looks
Cons:
- Honestly, I can't find any, yet. You can even buy all sizes for the toms, which is what I want aswell.
