regurgitator Posted June 27, 2001 Share Posted June 27, 2001 Hey guys, what do you think of the Yamaha Stage Custom sets? I have been looking at buying an 8 piece, going for a heavy tribal sound. Also I have a 5 piece Tama rockstar set for sale with hardware and cymbals if anyones interested.. To me, it's a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?" You can say, "Sorry, got these sacks." -Jack Handy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felix stein Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 I would get a maple or beech custom instead. The kicks have no low end in a stage custom and they sound kinda generic to me. But there are way worse kits out there felix's band Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djarrett Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 Boy, I am going to let Bart speak regarding Yamaha. Although he endorses the product, Bart speaks honestly and will not try to pimp the product on you.I know Yamaha makes great product, but cannot speak regarding one series over another series.Let's see what he says.Thanks,DJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumtrav Posted June 28, 2001 Share Posted June 28, 2001 I work at a Guitar Center and I know for a fact that the NEW Yamaha Stage Customs are %100 better than their predecessors. If I were going to get one, I would get the Stage Custom Absolute series. Also have you looked at Tama'a Rockstat Custom's? As said before the Yamaha's Maple or Beech Custom's are better, but I don't know what kind of budget that you have in mind. Hope this helpsDrumtrav Drumtrav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regurgitator Posted June 28, 2001 Author Share Posted June 28, 2001 Well, I have a friend at a drum store who can get me the following all brand new:7 Piece Yamaha Stage Custom, all hardware18" K cust dark14" A cust Mastersound hi-hats22" Z cust power ride18" Z cust chinaAll for $2200, thats a decent price. I doubt I can beat it.I dont want to spend any more than that for now. I still have to sell the old Tama kit for like 300 bucks so that will help pay for this one. With this budget do you think I could do better? To me, it's a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?" You can say, "Sorry, got these sacks." -Jack Handy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regurgitator Posted July 3, 2001 Author Share Posted July 3, 2001 Hey guys, I have been pricing sets and I found a decent deal on Tama Starclassic which is what I really want anyway- for a 6 piece Starclassic Performer with hardware and Zildjian cymbals Sam Ash wants 2600. Seems decent. What do you guys think? To me, it's a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?"
