The Stage Custom Birch SBS1455 is a 14" × 5.5" snare drum built around a 100% birch shell that delivers quick attack, tight tone, and short decay. Designed to match the Stage Custom Birch drum sets in both materials and finishes, it sits naturally in the kit while contributing a well-defined, punchy voice.

Birch Shell Construction

The six-ply, 100% birch shell with an R1, 45-degree bearing edge accurately conveys vibrations from the impact surface, producing a focused sound with good separation and consistent response across the entire dynamic range.

Triple Flange Steel Hoop

The triple flange steel hoop delivers a wide, open sound suitable for a broad range of playing styles and environments, from live stages to recording studios.

One-Piece Lugs

High-tension one-piece lugs accommodate heads tuned to the limit, ensuring precise and stable tuning even under demanding performance conditions.

Snare System

The 20-strand hi-carbon steel snare wire is paired with Yamaha's patented snare plate, which features a slight bend that pulls the plate upward when the string tightens, keeping the snare in full contact with the head. Nylon-braided strings add durability for long-term use.
