Independent shopping perspective
The Raven Black Stage Custom Birch is Yamaha’s 13 x 9 in. mounted tom, made with a thin shell and staggered diagonal seam. Yamaha’s Air Seal System is used to keep shell thickness uniform and the shell round, while low-mass lugs let it vibrate for tone and sustain. A high-gloss lacquer finish gives the black exterior a clean, reflective look.
