Upgrading My Yamaha Stage Custom Birch: Hoop Swap & Evans Head Refresh for Epic Tone!
Upgrading My Yamaha Stage Custom Birch: Hoop Swap & Evans Head Refresh for Epic Tone! 🥁 In this video, I take my beloved Yamaha Stage Custom Birch kit to the next level with a simple, game-changing mod: swapping the stock 1.5mm batter-side hoops to beefier 2.3mm triple-flanged ones. The result? Warmer, slightly shorter sustain, tighter tuning stability, and way less ringing—perfect for that pro punch without breaking the bank. Plus, I demo a full head swap on all toms: Evans G2 coated batter heads for focused attack and Evans G1 clear resonant heads for open resonance. If you're rocking a Stage Custom, this upgrade is a must—affordable, DIY-friendly, and transformative. Stick around for the full walkthrough, including tools needed and where to snag parts.
