Here we have a Yamaha Beech Custom finished in their cherry red high-gloss lacquer, showcasing the bold wood grain of the beech shells. Known for their powerful projection and balanced tone, Beech Customs deliver a unique character that sits between the warmth of maple and the punch of birch. Built in Japan to Yamaha’s renowned standards, these drums are sought after for both live and studio use.
my personal opinion
These kits are seriously undervalued and represent some of the best drums Yamaha ever produced. They are one of the best kits I've ever played, in fact, the studio my band records at (catalyst studios) use this exact model and sizes and the results are always phenomenal!
Condition:
This kit is in very good condition overall, showing only light cosmetic wear consistent with careful use and its age. There are a few small scuffs, but nothing significant. One bass drum hoop shows typical pedal clamp marks, and the only notable issue is that this hoop has a crack. It has been glued and taped, feels secure, and is not completely seperated.
For reassurance, I am including a spare set of bass drum hoops (non-original Yamaha) should the buyer wish to replace them in the future.
The floor tom legs are a little worse for wear. They are still fully functional but they have had a lot of the chrome flake off.
7.5/10
Drum Heads:
This kit is coming complete with Remo Clear Pinstripes on all the batter heads and an Evans EMAD on the kick.
The Resonant heads are an Evans G1 clear on the 10" tom but the remaining toms are the stock Yamaha clear heads.
Head Condition:
The Pinstripes generally are in very good condition, showing use, but with plenty of life.
The Evans Emad is excellent, basically looks new!
All the resonant heads are in also in excellent condition.
