It is a poorly kept industry secret that Sakae Musical instruments manufacturers Yamaha's high end drum lines. They have been making drums for Yamaha for over 40 years. My local shop sent me an email the other day to inform me, that if I want any more Sakae music manufactured Yamaha drums I need to have my order placed by June 28th. After this date you can no longer get Yamaha drums that are produced by Sakae.
If you go to Sakae's website they confirm that they will be going out on their own as well.
Sakae has been displaying drums under their own name at NAMM the last couple years.
I for one am happy I bought my Club Custom kit when I did. Knowing Yamaha the attention to detail will not fluctuate,but it just seems like the end of an era.
