Yamaha Recording Custom with Sonor Delite Maple Snare and full hardware + cases Welcome to the auction of this special instrument, it is extremely well cared for and ready to go. I purchased the kit in 2000 as just a shell pack, adding in the snare and hardware myself and have spent many happy hours performing and recording with it. The highlight was a live MTV show at the Astoria where it sounded as it should, completely amazing :)Why am I selling? It's a painful decision for me to sell the kit on but I haven't played it properly in over 7 years as my musical attention is elsewhere now. I got into dj-ing and music production and am now learning mastering and production. As such, I hardly play at all at the moment and to have a kit of this quality sitting around just isn't right. Eventually, I'd really like to get a set of the Roland V drums for the midi capability but this is a little way off yet for me. The kit has always been carefully stored, cased up and indoors at home in the back room.The drums are in superb condition with very few marks for their age. Out of 10 I'd rate them at 8.5. If they were a car, they look like a 3 year old car, if that makes sense, still glossy and looking pretty new. The kit heads are Evans G2, not new but with plenty of life in them and the snare has a Remo Ambassador, again the head is not new but with plenty of life. As those of you who know about the Recording Custom, it wasn't supplied with a matching snare as standard, you just got the shell pack. One would select a snare, quite often not a Yamaha, that suited your playing style. At the time I was at pains as what to get but knew I wanted a maple snare for the warmth and fatness. My first choice would have been a Slingerland Radio King but at the time, there just weren't many good ones available to me. Then I came across the Sonor Delite Maple snare drum that is included in this auction and it's a perfect match for the kit. Very responsive with lots of warmth and character and finished in a gorgeous red, matching the kit perfectly, both sonically and visually. Drum Sizes are: Bass Drum 22"Tom 1 8"Tom 2 10"Tom 3 12"Tom 4 15"Snare 14" x 5.5"In this auction also included is the full hardware set up for this kit, a mixture of Premier and Yamaha from their professional ranges. All the stands and pedals are in great condition, double braced on the important stands. The hardware alone in this auction would cost over £500 to buy new. Harware List: Premier 3000 Double Braced Cymbal/Tom stands x 2Premier 2000 Single Braced Cymbal Stand x 1Premier 2000 Hi Hat StandPremier 3000 Double Braced Fully Adjustable Snare StandYamaha Bass Drum Tom Mounting BracketOptional Extra Bass Drum Tom Mount Cymbal StandPremier Bass Drum PedalAlso supplied with the kit are all cases for the drums and hardware. These are a mixture of conditions but all work perfectly well and do their job. They are all soft case style and the hardware case is by Protection Racket, which has wheels at one end to help you move it. To Summarise: A top spec kit in superb condition needing a new home :)As I have this kit advertised elsewhere, I reserve the right to end this auction early. Buyer must collect (I live in SE London, Dulwich) . I also have some good cymbals and an old drum stool for sale outside of this auction. If you are paying with paypal, full payment must be made within 24hrs of end of auction. Cash is also acceptable as payment upon collection. BAC transfer is also fine but must be cleared in my account before I can let the kit go. Please call on if you'd like to ask any more questions or to arrange a viewing.Thanks for reading all this and I wish you the best of luck with your bidding !! read more
