Ayotte Custom Wood Hoop for Gretsch / Yamaha RC?

Posts: 113 Threads: 28

I will take some detailed photos tonight, but here's one for now. 12x8, 16x14, 22x16 Wood Hoop Ayotte Custom from 2001 (original owner), in African Walnut Satin. I bought 2 extra tom brackets in order to change the 16" to a non-mounted tom soon after original purchase.

It's a killer kit, just looking for a different sound. I'd love to have my first vintage Gretsch (round badge preferably) or as I do a lot of recording work, a nice Yamaha Recording Custom. Anyone interested?

The kit would come with protechtor cases. There are a few very minor scratches but I've babied this kit for the nearly 10 years i've owned it.

Would you be interested in a 60's Ludwig blue oyster pearl kit?

I've got a Yamaha Recording Custom kit from the early 1980's. I think they first came out in 1979. 16x22, 8x12, 9x13, 16x16, in cherry, no snare. Most of the RCs from that era were power tom sizes but this kit has the traditional sizes. The finish is not the best with nicks and scratches here and there and the 8x12 has some snare rash. I would be more than happy to work out a deal with you but honestly I would need to include some cash. Think of this kit as a well worn Stratocaster, road worn but sounds fantastic. They have been used mostly in my studio and sound the best out of all my kits (17 of them) including vintage Cleveland Rogers, '61 Ludwig 3 ply, and a 2001 Fibes kit with Jasper shells. I'm ready to try something else and the Ayotte looks interesting. Let me know if you are interested and I'll post some pictures so you can see them.

Deal has been secured! I look forward to trying out my new RCs! Boscoe is the proud new owner of my beloved Ayotte kit! Thanks Boscoe!
