The Floor Tom Snare Conversion — A Unique Feature
The 13" floor tom is fitted with 20-strand snare wires, allowing you to instantly convert it into a deep 13" snare drum with a single action. This gives you incredible versatility in a compact setup — use it as a floor tom for a traditional four-piece configuration, or flip it to a snare for a stripped-back two-piece or jazz setup. It’s one of the most clever features on any drum kit at this price point.

Best For
The Stage Custom Hip is best for jazz, session, and gigging drummers who need a compact, lightweight kit that doesn’t compromise on tone or build quality. The shallow shell depths mean the kit tunes higher and projects differently from a standard kit — ideal for music that requires something ‘light and tight’, smaller venues, rehearsal rooms with limited space, or as a versatile second kit. The birch shells deliver a brighter, more cutting sound than poplar, making this kit well suited to acoustic settings and recording.
