MusicRadar rating

4.5 of 5

Pros

Warm and smooth, easy to set up and a great multi-purpose kit.

Cons

It's difficult to pick holes although a choice of only four colours is a bit tight.

The bottom line

Mid-range kits are stunning value these days and the Tour Custom is a superb example of the features and shell quality that reasonably modest money can score you. The Stage Custom has served Yamaha extremely well, but with all-maple shells, great hardware, cracking finishes, nice old-school vibe and prices that start at £629, the Tour Custom will have an awful lot of drummers drooling over it.
