This is a rarely seen kit, with a rare finish as well. To celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Yamaha making drums, Yamaha offered the Maple Custom kit in various sparkle finishes. The only other drum that I have seen with this finish is the Elvin Jones signature model snare drum.
This kit is in fairly good condition, but the 3 rack toms have some issues in the finish. The 8 has some scrapes which affect the finish, part of the badge on that side, but not much else. The 10 has the least damage. It has a small nick that I had a hard time showing in the photo due to the sparkle finish. The 12 has two larger nicks, one of which is a bit of a gouge. I believe the prior owner had bumped these drums with the Hi-hat (on the 8) and the snare (on the 12). The finish itself is wonderful, but these flaws do exist.
The 16 has no problems at all. Unlike most 16 floor toms, this one must have been custom ordered. It is a 14x16 hanging tom without the YESS tom mount and instead has (3) YESS Floor Tom mounts. And it comes with the three legs of course.
The 14 is in the best condition as it is brand new. I special ordered it from Yamaha. As you can see, they do a great job of keeping their colors consistent as the 14 matches the other drums perfectly.
I have another one of these kits. And if the 14 is not desirable for some reason, I can keep this one. In fact, this one drum is the main reason why this kit is so expensive. I paid a small fortune for it.
The sizes are as follows:
8x8
8x10
8x12
14x14FT
14x16FT
16x22BD
There is no hardware offered in this auction. If you need the mounts for the rack toms, let me know and I will see if I have the hardware once you win the auction.
