Not a blockbuster deal, but about the best you'll ever get from Yamaha on a
NEW Stage Custom Birch kit. Stage Custom Birch drums are considered just about the best drums in the price range by countless drummers. Several finishes (stains and lacquers) available. Search site/s for other finishes. No hardware or cymbals included. This is a shell pack only.
Two variants of this kit:
10", 12" toms, 16" floor tom, 14" snare, 22" bass drum
10" 12" toms, 14" floor tom, 14" snare, 20" bass drum.
PS. The Raven Black finish doesn't show up well in pictures. In person you can see the wood grain through the finish. Really gorgeous.
Also available from other retailers at this price.

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.

That said, I've moved on to electric (Alesis Strike Pro) and unless you need to gig/play live - electronic drums are SO MUCH better in daily use. You can do it anytime, anyplace - with no angry neighbors or spouses.
I'll still get my DW Collectors series later - but for normal use - the Alesis Is killer
I chose It over Vdrums based on performance, not price.
(That said, the VAD706 wasn't out... thats sweet. If I had to do it again & didn't mind dropping $9k...)
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.

I didn't know that about the alloy / hammering that's interesting I heard them before and was impressed.
