Not a blockbuster deal, but about the best you'll ever get from Yamaha on a NEW Stage Custom Birch kit. Stage Custom Birch drums are considered just about the best drums in the price range by countless drummers. Several finishes (stains and lacquers) available. Search site/s for other finishes. No hardware or cymbals included. This is a shell pack only.

Two variants of this kit:

10", 12" toms, 16" floor tom, 14" snare, 22" bass drum

10" 12" toms, 14" floor tom, 14" snare, 20" bass drum.

PS. The Raven Black finish doesn't show up well in pictures. In person you can see the wood grain through the finish. Really gorgeous.

Also available from other retailers at this price.

Snare lugs are not plastic, lol. I've never heard of a lug snapping, never mind half of them, lol.

A throne, kick pedal, hi-hat stand and cymbals, snare stand, crash & ride cymbals and booms. Oh and drum sticks.

So you'll need hardware like this: https://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-HW-...3BPU&psc=1

Cymbals like these: https://www.amazon.com/Zildjian-P...86TR&psc=1

And throne and drum sticks.

Dang brutal review:

Snare lugs are plastic and half of them snapped during a performance!! Yamaha says they have replacement parts, but the lugs alone cost as much as a new snare!! While I do like the overall sound and look of this basic kit, I have never had a lug snap in my 50+ years of drumming. Come on Yamaha, drop the corporate BS and service this customer!!

Amazing kit. Huge step up from the entry level poplar wood kits. Had no issues with the quality at all in the new years I've owned it. Great tone.

+1 for Yamaha. The lightning bolt hardware brings me back to grade school.
