Hi!

I worked for a bit in a studio where they have an amazing YAMAHA from the 80's but I don't remember the model (stage,recording,tour?). So I hope that somebody here can help me checking some pics of this drum:

The toms and bass look like stage custom series to me.

Does it say made in England on the badge? If so it was made by Premeir between 1987 and 1992. I just read up on that the other day because I just bought a Yamaha snare made in England and looked it up. I found it on the wikipedia site, here is a link

Your badge looks like mine, thats why I brought it up.

Thank you!
