I came across a Yamaha SD-755MD snare drum (14 x 5.5). I dont know anything about this drum series other than it has a steel shell. If there's anyone here who knows about this series, I have a couple of questions:
1.When were they made? I think it could be from the 80's or 90's.
2. Were they entry level, mid level or professional drums?
3. How much would it cost in perfect condition? The one Im restoring is VERY pitted. I would like to know how much I could offer to the owner of the drum, if I decide to keep it.
4. Also, the bottom rim is different than most rims. The rectangular space where the wires go thru is wide and extends down beyond the rim. Is it for extended snare wires? If so, which Puresound extended snare wire should I buy for a 14" drum? (I've seen they have 15" wires but I dont know if an extended 14" wire is considered the same as a 15" wire)
Any help on the subject will be much appreciated
