MGR/The Barfly « Yamaha YD Series »
Published on 01/27/03 at 15:00I wanted to upgrade my ancient STAR(now Tama) drumkit so i looked up an online dealer and got the YD series for about 650.
This being my second drumkit i was very pleased with it. Great sound out of all the drums, perfect tone all around. I really like the tom mounting system on them which the exact same as used on all Yamaha top-end kits. The stands that came with the kit were of good quality too.
Factory skins were crap (Remo 'U2' heads)- had to buy a full set of pinstripes and an emperor for the sanre, resonant heads were fine though.
Great quality, beats the hell out of a lot of other drumkits ive jammed on at friends houses. All Phillipean mahogony shells.
Great drumkit, buy one if you cant afford the real expensive stuff, or just buy it anyway- you probably wouldnt be able to tell the difference. I've recorded a few songs with my band using this kit and it sounds great.
