The Yamaha Stage Custom Bop 18" 3-Piece Birch Shell Pack in Raven Black is a compact, jazz-focused drum kit shell pack from one of the world's most respected drum manufacturers, available from a UK independent drum retailer. Built around an 18" bass drum with 6-ply birch shells, the Stage Custom Bop delivers the warmth, projection, and build quality of the Stage Custom range in a smaller, more intimate configuration — ideal for jazz, bop, acoustic sessions, and smaller venues.
Shell pack only — hardware, cymbals, and snare drum are not included. This is a 3-piece shell pack (bass drum, rack tom, floor tom).

Best For
The Stage Custom Bop is best for jazz, bop, and acoustic drummers who want a compact, high-quality birch kit that fits naturally into smaller venues, recording sessions, and acoustic settings. The 18" bass drum delivers a tight, focused low-end that sits perfectly in a jazz or bop context, while the birch shells provide the brightness and projection needed to cut through in acoustic environments. The Raven Black finish gives a classic, understated look that works in any setting.
