I am becoming a fan of that color!

Love it!

I saw your SCBs down in this thread. Sweet! I would have a hard time deciding color if I was buying again.

I got it at my local drumshop cheaper than an ordinary PS3. It's an original yamaha part, can be ordered from catalog.

I rearranged my set-up today (Yamaha Stage Custom Birch w/ Musashi Oak snare). Here is how it turned out.

ConvertedLudwigPlayer · #**126** 07-27-2010, 09:35 PM

This is a 1992 Yamaha Rock Tour Custom kit in black thast I recently picked up.

Sizes:
10x10, 12x10, 14x14, 16x16, 22" bass

The rack toms sing and the low toms are explosive!!!!

scorch whammin · #**127** 07-27-2010, 11:46 PM

Thanks Scorch!

I threw some clear used G2's I had and played with tuning a bit more last night. Still getting a feel for the range of these drums. So far, I am very impressed. I had really been wanting a YAMAHA kit and got this one on trade for a 3 piece 1995 Ludwig kit that I had, so I am really happy that myself and the other guy both got what we wanted.

Lots of great looking yammies here and I think Yamaha's 1978 catalog centerfold said it best without any words. This may be the greatest drumset ad photograph I have ever seen. I picked up the original catalog and have looked at it repeatedly over the years. It never gets old...

My daughter was in a tough financial bind. She needed fast cash, I had no other choice.

Looking at a second Yamaha SCB in the near future.

harryconway · #**133** 08-21-2010, 07:16 PM

My Yamaha Recording Customs. 22, 12, 14, and snare. A 13" rack also came with the kit, but it's an add-on. The 22, 12, 14 all have a satin finish. The 13, a high gloss. Jury's still out, as to if I'll keep the 13, or sell it. Maybe I'll try to de-gloss it. Landed cost for the 5 drums was $995.

Wow!...like the latest setup areFish!...also like your choice of cymbals....I've often thought of switching over to 2002's...

Hey thanks SW! I changed things up a tad since I posted those. I dropped the cymbal hight, unstacked the splash and removed the tom mount from the kick drum.

Rascul · #**136** 09-01-2010, 12:57 PM

Let me just put my old MC here just before it will leave my collection:

It'll be a sad thing to see 'em go.

BigBen · #**137** 09-06-2010, 07:53 AM

Great looking kits everyone! I too, love my Yammies!

richkenyon · #**138** 11-02-2010, 04:08 PM

My beloved Yamaha Maple Custom in Piano Black...!! 20" BD with 8/10/12/14/15 TTs. I have a Yamaha 8000 snare but didn't use it here - it's a Sonor HiLite.

MusiQmaN · #**139** 11-14-2010, 09:15 AM

Mc in Solid Black? Custom orde huh? Im in love...

Not a Custom finish to my knowledge - I believe it was always available but the Black Stain finish always seemed far more common. These are rare though, which made adding toms to the original set a major task...!!

MusiQmaN · #**141** 11-23-2010, 01:42 PM

Youre right.

This was from the early days. There where colors like Red, White and Blue to.

yamahaha · #**142** 11-23-2010, 11:45 PM

This is my basic setup (Maple Custom Absolute). I also have an 8 x 7 tom, SPD-S, side snare, tambourine, and a couple more cymbals. (sorry for the oddly placed carpets. I had to move everything forward to clear a projection screen after the carpets were already in place)

I remember the red looked amazing in the brochure.... The Solid Black finish I have is from the YESS era though, so not just the very early MCs had this finish.

Music is Awesome · #**144** 11-28-2010, 04:04 AM

Yamahaha, your cymbals are blindingly clean.

stickwithjesus12 · #**145** 05-17-2011, 06:18 PM

Hi everyone! Here is my Yamaha kit. It is the Rydeen series, so nothing fancy. I need new skins badly, and I am getting new hi-hats for Christmas. I also have a new Sabian 15" HHX X-Plosion Crash on the way as a result of the 'Buy a Ride, Get a Crash' promotion. Toms are 10", 12" and 14". Current cymbals are 14"Pearl CX hats, 16" Pearl CX Crash, 20" Sabian AAX Studio Ride and 16" Sabian B8Pro Rock Crash.

You caught me on a good day! Groove Juice is the best and works especially well on shiny cymbals like the ozone. Discovering this product almost erased all those bad memories from high school using that messy paste cymbal cleaner messing up my mom's nice towels!

yamahaha · #**147** 05-17-2011, 07:08 PM

Hey all, here's a little update on the "new" setup (same drums, different layout). I resisted the "offset tom" thing for a long time but finally took the time to move things around and now I love it!

waves_and_radiation · #**148** 05-18-2011, 04:25 AM

Wow! Nice drums everyone! Here's mine.

Yamaha 9000 series

sizes 14x10 16x16 18x16 and 24x14
14x5 ludwig black sparkle snare

Cymbals
18 A custom crash
22 vintage zidjian ride
20 dark K ride as crash
Very old and very thin vintage zidjian hats 15's ( 8 bucks at goodwill)
Or my friends vintage zidjian heavy 15 hats

Vintage emperors all around.

DW 5000 hi hat stand
DW 7000 single pedal

Yamaha cymbal stands single brace

Thanks

I love the off-set tom idea! Your drums look beautiful - are they Maple Customs? Absolutes?
How do you like them? I have the original MCs - they record nicely but a little too heavy to carry around on gigs IMO.

yamahaha · #**150** 07-18-2011, 08:10 PM

Same kit, new lights!

posted this on another thread, so i hope this isn't overposting. :-) love these drums, 20th anniversary recording customs, there's another rack tom but i use different configurations for different projects. they tune so easily and stay there. nice thread, very cool kits have been posted.

scorch whammin · #**156** 10-28-2011, 04:16 PM

Decided to try out a white Evans EQ3 head for the front of my bass drum...I kinda like the new look.....now I gotta see about getting a white front head for the sub-kick..

MusiQmaN · #**157** 10-28-2011, 04:18 PM
