Yamaha D-18

Loading...

Can anyone tell me anything about the quality of the Yamaha D-18 drums.

They are late 60's- early 70's I believe.

Cheers.

There is a picture of the kit in an old Catalogue on this site, but it doesn't say anything about the kit.

I was just wondering if they were a pro model, or beginners kit of their time.

They are circa 1969 according to the Yamaha catalogue.
