Since you're trying to stump us, I'll include the link where you brought this up over at DFO!!!

I'll admit that I was stumped to, until I found out that this was a line not available in the US!

LOL; not trying to stump anyone but i cant believe Yamaha would introduce a kit NOT available to the US. This is the very first Yammy kit i,ve ever owned, only because i traded for cymbals, but im curious about it because they claim its their attempt to capture that vintage sound...we shall see.

wayne! I completely agree that this fine line of Yamaha drums should have been introduced in the US as well. I don't exactly know how their marketing department works and what determines what, and what not, will be sold in the US market. All I can say is that I LOVED my Maple Custom Absolute kit from 20 years ago. Simple and beautiful lugs and I always liked the YESS tom mounting system. NEVER had an issue with it! In fact, I used the YESS system to upgrade my PDP X7 kit!
