MGR/Adam Correia « Yamaha YD Series Drum Kits »

The amazing quality. This has to be the best entry level set. I played on my friends because I've already got a Pearl Export series. The YD comes in two different sizes. 10', 12' mounted toms, and a 14" floor tom. The bass is 20" X 17" deep creating a beautiful low end bass drum quite similiar to the maple custom. The shells are 9 ply mahogany. Or you can get the standard 12", 13" mounted toms and a 16" floor tom as well as a 22" X 17" bass drum. These sets come with a 14" X 5.5" matching colour snare drum with mahogany shells. I found the snare to be a mid-range snare with some ring. The toms can be either high-end or low-end, whatever you prefer. Like I said the best entry level set out there.
Nothing
The quality is amazing, very sturdy hardware. Has the same hardware as the professional series offered by Yamaha. All Yamaha hardware is made in there motorcycle manufacturing plant.
If you are a beginner, intermediate, semi-pro, or pro. GET THEM. If you do music video with your band, a lot of gigs and you don't want to wreck your primary beautiful kit then take this on the road or to shoot a video, and to have fun. Or maybe buy for your son!
