Yamaha JSBP2F5RBL Stage Custom Birch Standard Raven Black - 5 shells - raven black

Improvements and innovations

Revamped drums: Yamaha has slightly thickened the birch bends to increase projection and depth, inspired by the Live Custom design.

Reworked chamfers: rounded for better contact between skin and barrel, favoring low frequencies and warmth of sound.

New Absolute shells: a single point of attachment for a streamlined design and enhanced resonance.

New molded hooks and bass drum spikes: sturdier and more stable.

Improved snare drum: equipped with 10 tie rods for optimal tension control and tuning precision.

Signature sound

Birch is renowned for its clear projection, fast response and clean attack, ideal for stage and studio.
The 6 plies provide a balanced, mellow sound, while retaining Yamaha's typical dynamics and precision.

The YESS system is the key to sustain and stability:

It minimizes barrel contact for natural vibration.

The attachment points are located at the nodal point (a zone free of vibratory interference), a concept inherited from Noble & Cooley.

On bass toms, this system guarantees stability on the ground while maintaining an open, musical resonance.

Ergonomics and playing comfort

The hard resin ball-and-socket joint, housed in a chrome-plated shell, enables the toms to be positioned with millimetre precision.

The titanium butterfly key clamping system is fluid, solid and ergonomic.

The player can tune the resonant skin without dismantling the tom, thanks to the free rotation of the clamp - a unique Yamaha feature.
