Not Yamaha, but they look like Pearl drums from the mid to late 70's, based on the bass drum's and top tom's mount. Snare may be a different make, certainly a different color. Just by looking at the photos, it looks like the sizes are 12/13/16 with a 14 snare. Guessing a 22" on the bass. Not 100% sure, but the spurs on the bass drum look more modern and may not be original?

These Pearl shells are good, but certainly not worth $500 especially with no other hardware included. That price would be at the very absolute top end of the spectrum. I would say closer to $300 is more reasonable. If there is no mounting hardware (tom arms or FT legs), then I would offer $150-200 at most. As always, price is subject to change based on condition and/or non-originality of parts, extra holes etc.

Not sure those are in fact vintage Yamaha's. They look MIJ, but no way are they worth anywhere near $500.00 lol. I don't see any badges, etc.

If you're going to spend $500.00, there's MUCH better vintage MIJ options out there. I'd pass.

Pictures for posterity's sake.

Thanks for the info. I also felt that whatever they were 500 was going to be too high of a asking price. If they were excellent vintage drums I would imagine the seller to include any and all info. I like the wrap and am currently looking for a used kit in the $200 - $500 range so i was willing to go check them out to assess. these will mostly be hobby drums.

So just to be clear, is YAHAMA not even a thing? did the seller just misspell YAMAHA twice on this listing? that was the most confusing part to me. wasn’t sure if YAHAMA was just a cheap yamaha knock off or something.

thanks again!

Given the large number of stencil names at the time it wouldn't surprise me if there was a Yahama brand

Thats an Hoshino Kit!
