The ultimate grab-and-go rig for the gigging drummer. Featuring 100% Birch shells, a convertible floor tom/snare, and the ultra-lightweight Yamaha Crosstown Aluminum Hardware Pack.
For years, "compact" drum kits meant sacrificing tone for size. The Yamaha Stage Custom Hip changes the game. By utilizing a 100% Birch 6-ply shell—the same legendary formula found in the standard Stage Custom—this kit delivers the cut, clarity, and low-end punch Yamaha is famous for, but in a size that fits in the boot of a hatchback.
Finished in a sleek Natural Wood High-Gloss Lacquer, this kit looks as professional as it sounds, perfect for jazz clubs, hip-hop gigs, or tight stages.
This isn't just a small kit; it's a smart kit.
The 20" x 8" Bass Drum: Unlike other travel kits that use tiny 16" or 18" kicks, Yamaha kept the 20-inch diameter but shortened the depth to 8 inches. This means you still get the satisfying low-frequency "thump" of a full-size kick, but with a footprint that saves precious stage space.
The Snare-Floor Tom Hybrid: The 13" x 8" floor tom comes equipped with 20-strand snare wires and a throw-off. With the snares off, it’s a deep, punchy floor tom. Flip the snares on, and it transforms into a fat, wet 13" snare drum—perfect for ballads, hip-hop backbeats, or as a secondary auxiliary snare.
We have paired this shell pack with the Yamaha HW3 Advanced Lightweight Hardware Pack to create the ultimate portable setup.
Aluminum Construction: These stands are incredibly light (the whole pack weighs just 7.8kg) yet sturdy enough for heavy playing.
Standard Tubing: Compatible with other Yamaha system hardware.
Includes: Two CS3 Cymbal Stands, one HHS3 Hi-Hat Stand, and one SS3 Snare Stand, all in a dedicated carrying bag. Say goodbye to heavy hardware bags.

20" x 8" Bass Drum
13" x 8" Floor Tom (with snare wires)

13" x 5" Snare Drum
CL940LB Tom Holder

We know how hard it is to haul gear across the city. This specific bundle (Hip Kit + HW3) was curated to be the most portable professional rig available. You can carry the entire hardware bag with one hand.
Verified Setup: Our team inspects the bearing edges and the unique floor-tom snare mechanism to ensure it engages smoothly before dispatch.
Expert Tuning: The shallow bass drum requires specific tuning to get the best "thump." We pre-tune or guide you on how to get the biggest sound out of the 8" depth.
Does the floor tom sound like a real snare?
Yes! When tuned medium-tight, it sounds like a massive 1970s fat snare. It’s perfect for low-fi hip-hop grooves or as a "Tex-Mex" style deep snare.
Is the hardware sturdy enough for heavy cymbals?
Absolutely. The HW3 stands use standard diameter aluminum tubing. They are channel-braced and can easily support 20" or 22" rides without wobbling, despite being lightweight.
Does this come with a bass drum pedal?
No, this bundle includes the shell pack and the stand pack. You will need to add a kick pedal (like the Yamaha FP7210A) and a drum throne.
Is the Raven Black a wrap or lacquer?
It is a high-gloss Lacquer finish. This allows the birch shell to resonate more freely than a plastic wrap and looks stunning under stage lights.
