A friend lent me his drum set. I really like the drums and would like to know what they are so i can buy something similar.
He has also hinted at selling them to me so i would like to be able to look up the value of the set.
I tried the drum vault at Yamaha's web site but it came back negative.
They were initially purchased in the 80's (he thinks).
I can take more pics if it helps
Thank you
Those are indeed mid-80s. As for the series...who knows. All I can tell you is Yamaha drums have ALWAYS been quality drums, and they are holding up value an d even appreciating. If you can get them for 250...run, if they are under 500, don't think twice...if under 750, save a teenager after a Camaro....and then talk him back to earth.
Those are Tour Customs:

My eyes are getting bad, but if they are wrapped, they are Tour Series, if they are lacquer finished, they are Tour Custom series. Either way, they are amazing drums. I have owned a set since 1985. Please note that these Tours have almost nothing to do with the Tour series that Yamaha put out in the 2000s. The old ones were alternating plies of birch and mahogany, where I believe the newer ones are maple.
Those lugs look like Tour Customs. They were longer and pointier than the Tour series lugs.
