Snare lugs are not plastic, lol. I've never heard of a lug snapping, never mind half of them, lol.
A throne, kick pedal, hi-hat stand and cymbals, snare stand, crash & ride cymbals and booms. Oh and drum sticks.

So you'll need hardware like this: https://www.amazon.com/Yamaha-HW-...3BPU&psc=1

Cymbals like these: https://www.amazon.com/Zildjian-P...86TR&psc=1

And throne and drum sticks.
Meinl and Sabian are excellent too. My favorite is Paiste, but I recognize that the other brands are equally good quality.

My God, aren't we passed the "made in china" thing by now? Yamaha made in China drums are FANTASTIC quality as are countless products that are made in China, like the computer and monitor you're sitting in front of right now, and probably 90% of the electronics in your home and countless parts inside and outside the "American" car you drive. Time to get over it. Go look at a set of Yamaha Stage Customs.. and if you can say with a straight face they aren't high quality... you're a good liar.
Good job with the senseless rant! 🤣 You'll notice I mentioned Thailand, too.

This has nothing to do with the quality of Chinese products. This has to do with the fact that the classic Yamaha sound has changed with the move of their factories.

Yamaha used to have a tighter sound with great tone. They were one of the standards for studio use.

Now they have the rounded sound with dulled harmonics of most other drum manufacturers. What made Yamaha drums unique and great for the studio is now gone. They can now be thrown in with Pearl, Tama, etc.

There's no need for me to lie. If you can't hear the difference, you're deaf. Maybe get your hearing checked and protected before the tinnitus starts.

"dulled harmonics," "tighter" sound, lol. Um, thanks for your "opinion", lol. Here's a quick lesson: Heads and tuning, not wood type, number of plies and bearing edges, make up 95% of a drums sound. Remember this going forward and you won't sound so ignorant when the topic comes up.

Have you ever played in a high end professional recording studio? Have you ever professionally recorded, mixed, or mastered drums? Yeah, I'm guessing no to all of the above. It must be tough to not be able to afford the top of the line gear and have it be a fantasy. Keep parroting that averageness and keep that newb life strong!

Get the Aquarian Super Kick 2 bass drum head. No dampening needed. I have always used a pillow in both bass drums but was advised to try the Aquarian sk2 in '08 I thought no way will it not need any dampening but it didn't and sounded way better than anything I had used.

Yep. Made out of the same B8 alloy as their pro 2002 line, just not hand hammered.
I didn't know that about the alloy / hammering that's interesting I heard them before and was impressed.
