Already considered to be among the best drum sets in its class, the new generation Stage Custom Birch has received several significant upgrades. Yamaha upgraded the shells with the same thicker ply concept used on Live Custom and rounded the bearing edges for more head to shell contact, which provides a fatter sound. Additionally, the shells contain the Absolute-style lug (typically found on Yamaha’s higher-end kits), die-cast claws and new bass drum spurs, a ten-lug snare drum, a beautiful badge, new tom depths, and a brand new Pure White color option. Ideal for beginners and pros alike, the Yamaha Stage Custom Birch provides high end Yamaha quality at a great value. This product is a Snare Drum; 14 x 5.5 Inches. Review: Killer YAMAHA quality for the money - Honey Amber finish on these shells Is absolutely gorgeous. The thickness of the shells allows them to resonate and have pretty good punch but leave room for sensitivity. I have pieced together this kit because I could not find all of the particular shell sizes in one shot. I got a really killer deal on this bass drum and I have always wanted an 18 inch drum. I am still running the stock heads on all of these shells and they sound really great. It all started with the 10 lug snare drum. I was so impressed with the drum that when I discovered the rest of the kit was out there, I went for it. YAMAHA has always been top quality no matter what they make. It is definitely reflected in this drum set. You are getting the value of a much higher end drum set in the way that they produce the shells for the money. I’m going to order the 16 inch floor Tom when it comes back in stock. This would be a really great kit for someone that is on the budget, or a second kit, or something smaller for gigging. I have not recorded with it yet so I don’t know what that sound like maybe I will change my review once I do so Review: Great drums for the price with a few updates - This review is for the 12” rack Tom, 14” floor and 20” kick, all in natural finish. While overall very happy with the construction and sound of the Birch shells, I made the following updates: lubed up the lugs (Latin Percussion makes a great lube), and changed out the flimsy stock heads (Emperor batters, clear Ambassador resonants on the toms, and Evans EMAD2 on the kick, my personal taste). Added nylon sleeved tension Rod washers for better tuning and less metal on metal, and upgraded the hoops to 2.3mm for more mass. The result is a great sounding, responsive and gig-worthy kit. Still a bargain even after the updates! ## Features - All-Birch shell - Ten Lugs for More Precise Tuning - Hi-Gloss Lacquer Finish - 45 Degree Bearing Edges ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00JXI5DPM | | Best Sellers Rank | #7,739 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #11 in Drum Set Snare Drums | | Body Material | Birch Wood | | Color Name | Raven Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (616) | | Date First Available | April 13, 2023 | | Finish Type | Lacquered | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00086792984124 | | Included Components | not included | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 8.6 pounds | | Item model number | SBS-1455RB | | Manufacturer | Yamaha PAC | | Material Type | Birch Wood | | Product Dimensions | 16.14 x 16.14 x 8.07 inches | | Size | 14" | | UPC | 086792984124 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Yamaha - **Color:** Raven Black - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 16.14 x 16.14 x 8.07 inches - **Material:** Birch Wood - **Model Name:** SBS-1455RB ## Images ![Stage Custom Birch 14x5.5 Snare Drum, Raven Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61un7XxTleL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is head leather?** A: Hell no...99 % of heads are never leather..unless maybe you get a calftone special specific head..no drum is coming purchased that way..unless u spend some $ & change it yourself after u get it.. **Q: Does this tom come with heads?** A: yes **Q: Does this have 1.6 hoops or 2.3 ?** A: These come wi8th 1.6 mm hoops.

The Yamaha tom sounds great and the slightly larger circumference makes such a difference in moving from snare to tom and from one ride tom to the other. And, it came fully assembled! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/22646052-stage-custom-birch-14x5-5-snare-drum-raven-black](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/22646052-stage-custom-birch-14x5-5-snare-drum-raven-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
