Wondering what year these are from Last viewed: 3 hours ago

Posts: 2 Threads: 1

I know these are not vintage. I should have done a little more research before I bought them but I hadn't found this forum yet :-)

Any idea of the year they were made?

They were advertised for $70 on craigslist.

No cymbals came with the kit but for the price I thought it was a pretty good deal.

That's a modern Yamaha/Rogers. Entry-level kit. For $70 you did ok. If you're just starting out, they're perfect to bash on. You'll soon outgrow them though.

I like the finish!

Too many great drums to list here!

Welcome to the forum! You did fine. Great kit to learn basic cleaning and polishing skills on. If bearing edges are a bit rough lightly sand with 2000 grit and rub in some beeswax before putting new heads on. Helps with tuning. These low end kits can be improved quite a bit by taking the time on details that the factory did not. Never will be high end, but can sound pretty darn good.

Nothing special here but I like them.
