Yamaha Drum Kit

Hi, I bought this kit for a how to play drums online tutorial that never got off the ground. I bought the drums used and the Zildjian cymbals, 14” x 8” Ludwig Black Beauty snare drum, hardware, petals, stands, and seat were bought new. This kit was never used and never left my studio.  I would be willing to separate the cymbals and snare drum and sell them separately.  I bought the drums from out of town, and they were shipped economically by placing the drums inside of one another. Below is what I found online about the drums.

The Verdict & Reviews

The Yamaha Recording Custom 9000 series from the 1980s is universally regarded by drummers and sound engineers as one of the greatest, most recorded drum lines in music history.

• The Sound Profile: Because the shell is constructed from 100% premium birch, it delivers a highly articulate, pre-EQ'd sound. It provides exceptional "punch," a clean low-end thud, and a shorter sustain that reduces muddy overtones. This makes the kick incredibly easy to control and mix.
• Studio vs. Live Performance: Reviewers and artists note that while these drums project excellently on a live stage, they truly thrive under microphones. The focused decay and crisp attack are exactly why legendary players like Steve Gadd made them their primary session choice.
• Build Quality: Made in Japan during Yamaha’s golden era of manufacturing, these shells feature the iconic high-tension full-length lugs and the proprietary Air-Seal system. They are built like tanks, resist warping, and hold stable tuning exceptionally well across generations.
