Yamaha Stage Custom kits feature metal parts that are the result of our expertise as a comprehensive musical instrument manufacturer, combined with years of research and development.

The lugs (Absolute Lugs) utilize an internal lug locking mechanism, in which a lug nut hold plate inside the lug prevents the tension bolt from loosening while playing.

The Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System (Y.E.S.S.) makes no compromises in bringing out the natural sound of the toms, while the traditional ball mount and clamp allows for stress-free setup. These parts, which are also used in higher-end drum kits, allow Yamaha Stage Custom kits to achieve superior functionality beyond their class.
