Do any of you folks know anything about this drum? It's different from the current Akira Jimbo- gold lugs and cast hoops. Any information is appreciated.
its not the signature model. its the first limited edition design Yamaha came out w/ for AJ from the early 90's (circa '92). 13"x7" 7ply maple shell -- not beech like the current regular production signature model. it did come w/ diecast hoops and gold plated Maple Custom lugs.
i snagged one off eBay a month or so ago for $500 which is a little more than i normally am willing to spend on a snare drum but...i had a feeling about it. i just got it dialed in w/ wood hoops, FatCat wires and a Evans Genera HD. i do not regret it even a little bit...worth every cent.
