The ultimate in tone and value for more than 30 years, the Stage Custom Birch series is great for the beginner or the working professional. The shell is a key factor in a drum’s ability to ‘rumble’, or resonate. Accordingly, the Stage Custom employs 100% birch – a classic in the realm of high-class drum kits. With its beautiful high-gloss lacquer finish and six-ply structure, the Stage Custom Birch accurately conveys the vibrations produced at the impact surface, achieving performance that overwhelms anything in its class.
