Selling this beautiful, well-preserved 5-piece Yamaha Maple Custom shell pack finished in iconic, high-gloss Natural Maple lacquer. Manufactured at the legendary Sakae factory in Japan during the absolute golden era of Yamaha drum building, these drums feature the flagship 10-ply, 10mm North American maple shells that defined the premium studio and touring sound of the 1990s.

What makes this particular kit an absolute holy grail configuration is the traditional 22x14” bass drum. While the 1990s industry was flooded with deep 16” and 18” power bass drums, this rare 14” depth delivers the punchy, lightning-fast acoustic response that modern session players and jazz/fusion drummers actively hunt for.

Through factory serial number decoding, the exact history of this kit is fully documented. It began as a premium core foundation in early 1993, with the 12” rack tom ordered as a factory-matched add-onMon shortly after to complete a spectacular, massive 5-piece fusion setup:
