lol ooops!
The only thing 14' wide on my kit is my butt.
I can see me tonight talking to my wife..... "Honey do these drums make my butt look big?" ........ Terry

If not for it being a Yamaha thread, I could almost swear Sticks was back.
lol,
I left it awhile ago as IMO as the exchange was somehow getting overly political, kind of with US vs Japan undertones. I have to admit I was curious why the thread resurrected, but it is a funny one.
Hey lets all agree - Rogers was good, Yamaha is good, DW is good....
I also never paid any attention to Donkeys balls...and isn't the donkey just an ass anyway?
Carter Beauford plays one of the largest RC kits known to mankind. It's a monster!
All I can think of is Gadd (uses a Maple Bass drum now), Beauford, and thats it. Pretty sure i missed someone.
I had the wild Idea of getting some Keller Birch VSS shells, cutting double roundovers on them...May still do it one day. In the middle of doing a couple of 18x22's for my kit now though.I have a set of 25 year old RC's. I play them practically every day and use them on just about 100% of my recording sessions. They are my prized possession and I'll be buried in those drums!
I would use them on stage if I had a 2nd set, but I don't and I don't want to risk taking them on the road.
The reason Yamaha hasn't done any marketing for them is because A. Everyone knows about them already. and B. with the move to China they are no longer in production. Wait till next year... the new RC's from China should be coming at some point and I'm willing to bet you will see a LOT of marketing for them as well as positive reviews.
If that was the case, we'd have a lot more Sunlite players here.
So they are not being made at the moment but will be produced again in the future? Down on the Yamaha website as discontinued.
They are still available to buy new on a big music store I checked online.
no word on whether they will be made again or not. I would'nt count on it. What you are seeing available now, is the result of merchants cleaning out Yamaha's warehouse when the word got out that they were discontinued.
