The Yamaha Gigmaker is a fantastic entry-level drum kit that offers renowned Yamaha quality at an affordable price – perfect for beginners, students, or as a solid second kit.
Condition:
This drum kit is in good condition showing signs of use but only minor cosmetic marks from normal use. There is some minor rust on some of the chrome rims and tom holders but this won't affect it's sound and is fully functional and ready to play which makes it ideal for home practice, rehearsals or small gigs. The wrap is slightly warped on the bass drum but isn't very noticeable especially being a black kit.
7/10
Drum Heads:
Despite being an entry-level kit, this has been fitted with some excellent heads which have given it a huge upgrade in how it sounds.
The toms have been fitted with Remo Clear Pinstripes which are showing signs of use but are in very good condition with plenty of life left in them.
The snare drum has been fitted with a Remo Coated Ambassador which is showing some more use than the toms but still has plenty of life left in it.
The bass drum has been fitted with a Remo Powersonic head which is in excellent condition.
These heads would cost roughly £140+ if bought new and make a massive improvement to the sound.
The toms and snare also have a selection of SlapKlatz drum dampeners on them which give the whole kit a very controlled tone with room for adjustment.
