Yamaha questions.

Loading...

Anyone have an idea what year/model this Yamaha kit might be. I searched the catalogs, but can find that wrap except in 60's models. Sizes look to be 22, 13, 14, 16 with matching snare.

looks like a re-wrapped, early DP model

early versions had wood bass hoops, and the usual Yamaha tom holders

later versions had steel bass hoops and Pearl-style double tom arms

I agree.

Early DP with a newer bass resonant head.

Note the air vent location in the toms as well.

That looks right to me too. They are up for sale locally and was interested in what they were. The wrap really confused me.
