Detail 01
100% birch, six-ply shell
The shell is designed to convey vibrations from the impact surface for resonance.

Independent shopping perspective
At 20 x 17 in., this Raven Black Stage Custom bass drum uses Yamaha’s six-ply, 100% birch shell construction. That shell is intended to convey vibrations from the impact surface into a resonant response. Rubber insertion plates at the die-cast claw hooks help reduce hardware noise, and the bass drum legs include stoppers to make setup easier. It suits a Stage Custom build that calls for this larger bass-drum size and black finish.
