Up for sale is a rare four piece Yamaha Maple Custom drum set in stunning transparent black lacquer with gold lugs. Maple Custom drums were Yamaha’s flagship drums during their day and are still highly sought after. Many of Yamaha’s top endorsers, including Steve Gadd and Dave Weckle, prefer the Maple Custom line when they play maple drums. Hand-made in Japan, Maple Custom drums feature 9-10 mm maple shells, gold plated lugs with nylon inserts to secure tuning, Dyna-hoops and YESS mounts. This kit sounds incredible. Tons of pure maple tone, projection and warmth. The kick sounds massive. The drums are in great shape considering their age. Some of the drums have a few small chips and scratches but they have been touched up and can’t be seen unless you are looking close to the shell under a bright light. Lugs, hardware, bearing edges are all in fantastic shape. This was part of a larger kit originally owned by a Yamaha endorser. He had the shells timbre matched at the Yamaha factory and wrote the notes in each shell. The bass drum also has an internal May mic (AKG D112) Both mics in the 10 and bass drum are included. Sale includes: 10X9 tom with May internal mic, 12X10, 14X12 toms, a 22X16 kick with May internal mic, three new Yamaha tom arms and a full set of Humes and Berg padded drum bags in great shape.
