The SBP0F4H Stage Custom Hip Shell Set is a purpose-built compact 4-piece kit designed for small venues, home practice, and hybrid setups. A shallow 20 x 8-inch bass drum keeps the overall footprint minimal, while a floor tom fitted with 20-strand snares expands the kit's musical range well beyond traditional drum set use.

Shallow 20 x 8-inch Bass Drum

The bass drum combines the 20-inch diameter used to achieve a full, round bass tone with a shallow 8-inch body that significantly reduces the kit's stage area requirements. This design maintains the low-end character of a standard kit while enabling setup in even the smallest performance spaces.

Floor Tom with Built-in Snare

The floor tom is equipped with 20-strand snares and can be converted into a deep 13-inch snare drum with a single action. This versatility makes the Stage Custom Hip suitable not only for jazz and pop but also for hip-hop, R&B, and other styles that benefit from an additional snare voice within the kit.

100% Birch 6-Ply Shells

The Stage Custom Hip uses the same 100% birch, 6-ply shells as the rest of the Stage Custom Birch lineup. The birch construction provides rich mid-range sound characteristics combined with expressive shell resonance, ensuring the compact kit delivers the same tonal quality expected of the Stage Custom name.

Home Practice Capability

The compact dimensions allow the Stage Custom Hip to be used at home with commercially available mesh heads and practice cymbals for near-silent practice. Installing an EAD10 or trigger pickups further transforms the kit into a hybrid drum setup with access to a wide range of electronic sounds.

Ball Mount and Clamp

Yamaha's original ball mount and clamp tightens the plate with wing bolts and secures the built-in resin ball in place, allowing each tom to be positioned at any angle with excellent stability and precision.

Compatible with HW3 Hardware

The Stage Custom Hip is specifically matched with Yamaha's Advanced Lightweight Hardware HW3 set, which is designed to be easy to transport and quick to set up — an ideal companion for the portable nature of this shell set.
