Don't know if my answer will help or not, but here it goes...if the Yamaha Tour Customs are built with the same shell and hardware spec. as they were in the late 80's early 90's, those will be some good drums for you. I was in the U.S. Navy Band during those years and those were the drums that were purchased for all the Fleet Bands. They served us well with the sound quality ( I played Big-Band and Show Music) the other guys played pop-rock. The drums travelled tens of thousands of miles a year, put up with a hell of a lot of use but still looked and sounded great. I wish I still had them ! Anyways, I had some real good times with those drums. For the price point, they should be a real winner. Enjoy!
