stage custom or export?

[mikee4]

hello pinoy drummers! this would be my first post. great forum by the way! tanong ko lang my tito is selling his drum set and he is selling his 90s model yamaha stage custom. i play with a pearl export 90s model. and he is willing to swap my export to his yamaha if i want.. now my question is would it be an upgrade, even a slight upgrade from export to stage custom?
for those who have tried both which one do you prefer? salamat po more power to this site and forum!
ps: i like the stage custom snare compared to my stainless pearl export snare.

i dunno about you, but i'd trade an export series with a 90's stage custom anytime man sabihin mo kami na lang trade

Ya, I thinks hindi lang sya makikipag trade... although hindi ako talaga knowledgeable, but with all the review and comments from different forums, marami talga nagsasabi na mganda sound ng Yamaha, kahit na ung stage custom lang. Dont mistaken my comment na "lang" its not say na mahina sya, its just that nasa entry level sya ng Yamaha. Although, Export is an entry level as well.

anymore inputs mga sir? kasi mukang napapaisip na ko sa swap hehe reply lang kayo ng "go" kung tutuluyan ko na ba to hehehe. ive tried playing with the stage custom and it sounds ok but it had crappy heads so maybe i didnt get to hear the real potential of those drums. tulong naman mga pare koy export or stage custom... ano ba tlaga ang mas ok? hehe salamat sa mga reply!

dude hindi ata entry level ng yamaha ang stage custom. and i believe the 90's stage custom is made out of maple. di yan chipipay lalo na pag export series lang ang katrade. depende na lang siguro sa may-ari kung pano nya inalagaan

[jeva]

Sir, kaya ko sinabi na enrty level sya ng yamaha, dahil nasa cheapest or pangalawa yata. Then, there are I think, about 4 more series after it. Assumption ko lng un, coz as mentioned before hand Iam not that knowledgeable about drums.

Mapple ba sya? It was only now that I realized that, since I thought it was mahogany and birch combined.

At least now I know. Thanks.

By the way, dont swap yet! Check mo ung hardware, rust, durable pa ba. Things like that. Baka kasi pasira na hardware. Although Yamaha and Pearl, again as I believe, are 2 of the best when it comes to hardware durability. Nevertheless, do check thoroughly. Good luck!

same level lang yan kung sa pricing at target market ang usapan. phil. mahogany ang mga stage customs and i believe the exports from that era are also phil. mahogany. siguro makipagswap ka na lang kung mas maganda yung condition nung yamaha 

how they sound and which one you like is up to you

hmmm..i'll check some of my old files..90's wala pa ako dito sa pearl dept nun, isa pa lang ako high school na nagagarap magbanda nun hahaha, i will also talk to Mr. Tom Garcia, the person in charge with yamaha drums regarding this..i hope maalala pa nya mga old models nun..btw it would be better if you will post pics of both kits...

[Akira JUMBO]

imho personal preference talaga..titigan mo ng sabay yung dalawa kung pwede tapos ask yourself ano ba talaga gusto mo?

parang gf lang yan..meron bago chicks na kamukha ng gf mo na type ka na hindi mo pa natitikman..hahaha!

posting pics would help the people help you decide if ever..


nevertheless if you ask me..i'll stay with the Pearl assuming both or in the same condition..

[mikee4]

pasenya na mga pogi walang pictures eh! pero nakita ko na ung kit color dark blue good condition tapos orig pa ung heads so di pa nagagalaw (based sa heads mukang di nagamit masyado)... yung aking simpleng export ayos naman hehe pero maganda pa condition so patas lang! (hindi ko nga alam anong year to eh kasi yung badge niya yung silver na eh yung lumang export ko yung black na may gold stripe eh yun ang mas luma dba? pero dipa to virgin toms)

ok so eto nalang ang tanong ano ba kahoy na export at kahoy ng stage custom? kasi mga nakikita ko mga specs ngayon yung mga bago eh baka iba na sila sa 90s na model.

akira- tinitigan ko ng mabuti pare kaso parang babae din, gusto ko pareho!

jpmb- pearl dept pala kayo sir.. so sa yupangco din ba tama ba? patanong naman sa mga nakaka alam sa specs nung mga 90s kits natin. maraming salamat! sir tanong ko na din are the parts of the yamaha readily available like hoops, mounts etc.?

thanks again sa mga tulong niyo sa lahat ng nag reply! ayos!

Yamaha Stage Custom is a considered a mid-end model and Export Series is on the low level....

[jpmb]

yup..i agree sir didymus71

[xjepoyx]

i just asked a friend who works with PP before He said Yamaha Stage Custom is a bit high end than the Pearl Export. Go for the trade!

waaaaaaaaahhhh.... ang swerti mo naman sir mikee4... pasilip naman ng pix ...

The Stage Custom shells are actually made out of 3 woods... Falkata, Philippine Mahogany, and Birch. To my experience, they sound better when aged.

If I were you, I'd go for the trade... Just change the heads to pinstripes, tune them properly, and you're good to go!
