Ok she's got some chops! I hadn't heard of her but now I should definitely check her out. Just got a stage custom in classic white from GC and I'm loving it. Threw some coated emperors on it and my sound is complete.
Nice drums, I'm glad they're available in this configuration. A 6-piece Yamaha is iconic to me and probably many others because of the video of Vinnie Colauita, Steve Gadd, and Dave Weckl at the 1989 Buddy Rich Memorial Concert.
Nikki used to play in the drum offs at my local guitar center back before she was famous. I was in there one day and the manager of the drum dept showed me her on the cover of Modern Drummer right after she got the Beyoncé gig with Kim Thompson.
When did this silky blue finish come out?? Love it. (I have Raven Black - also love it :) ) - nice to see these SCBs getting some real love, they're fantastic drums, independent of the price point.
I’ve become a big fan of Nikki about a month ago when I saw her playing in New Orleans with two a keyboardist and guitar player and then George Porter jumped in. Her shuffle and ghost notes are next level soulful!!! Yamaha, I love you guys and we all know in 1996 the Stage Customs changed the game forever but please start to match the wood hoops on the Bass Drums cry😢😂😊
I have a Stage Custom that I bought from my local GC 8 years ago to bring with me to college and I used it for various gigs and performances. I went with the 14 10 12 14 20 version in the natural finish but last summer I found a matching single 16 floor tom used at another store. It's a great kit that works in any setting, and the snare is probably the best snare on any shell pack under $1000. Hardware is top level as well. This new blue finish is awesome, anyone who picks this up will be happy. My only question is for what heads I want to try next on the toms, I've been going coated G2s over Reso 7s since I started but thinking about trying something else.
Hello. Please help me out here: I can get the stage custom 5 piece for about the same price of a stage custom bass drum and a tour custom snare (so a 2 piece). What would you do. Is the tour custom snare really that much better?
There is a VARIETY of 'Stage Custom' drums available! This all-birch series is one specific variety, but this specificity is blurred in advertisements. It seems kinda shady TBA
The sound of the druns is awful the way its recorded. I know they sound great because i play yamaha recording customs but come on guys, mic them properly for the demo!
WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO " STAGE CUSTOM " YAMAHA THEMSELVES WILL NEVER MAKE A BETTER DRUM SET THEN THEIR OWN 9O'S AND EARLY 2OOO'S AND DON'T GET ME STARTED WITH THE MID 8O'S ~ EARLY 2OOO'S RECORDING CUSTOMS EVER SINCE THOSE YEAR THE QUALITY HAS GONE DOWN HILL AND IT AIN'T THE SAME ANYMORE
Steve Gadd, Dave Weckl, Steve Jordan and countless others seem to be doing alright and the Stage Custom is still unbeatable for the money. I don't know what hill you're on.

Bought a black Stage Custom set and donated it to my church so I would have something decent to play on Sundays. Great sound!
that finish is insane
AN EXCELLENT DRUMMER AND AN EXCELLENT DEMONSTRATION!

Surf green kit here, absolutely love this Drum set, especially once it gets re-headed
I liked her but I LOVE her now!!! She just played the dopest JB groove ever at 7:30, “Since you’ve been gone” from Funk Power 1970.
That 14" floor tom sound incredible!
