Need some help identifying a vintage Yamaha kit *pics*

Loading...

Hello!

I just picked up this nice vintage (i think?) Yamaha kit and wanted to see if anyone on here had any info on it and guesses as to its market value. From my brief research, it seems to be the 7000 series drums (YD7000 according to the Japanese Yamaha site). I have no idea what that means though, as I'm a n00b and know nothing about older drums. At first I thought it was a lower end older kit but when I took off the batter head to look at the wood I was quite surprised. The wood looks to be a darker color with a slight finish, possibly stained? The wrap is red with a sparkle upon close inspection. I'll just list the information I have on it and post pictures and let you all post =)

There was the 9000, 7000 and 5000 series, so your drums would be the 2nd level drums.. (Birch and Philippine Mahagony)

In regards to the numbers this is what they mean...

TT-712GA

Tom Tom - 7 Series 12" GA (is the color)

Double check your last floor tom serial number...

Sweet Yamaha kit, lots of drums to work with
