    I found this drum set at a local thrift store today. It is a Yamaha made in japan set - but what made me get it is it only has a 4 digit serial number!
    Is this a early Yamaha drum set like I think (hope!)?
    Any idea of age?
    Model?
    It is covered in dust but that comes off easy enough (see 2 photos of bass - that's after just wiping it with a wet paper towel), but there is rust on the chrome parts (and stands that came with it) - what's the best way to get it off?
    As always I appreciate your help!

    The manager at the thrift store told me the people who donated it said it was originally Phil Rudd of AC/DC before the last owner - any ideas how I could prove that?

    Those are in rough condition. Really no other way to prove it unless paperwork. Otherwise stories are stories

    Know what year or model it is? I only paid $100 so I'm thinking I can have them cleaned & still flip for a profit?

    Wouldn’t this be from a band called Sunrise? Greg Schneider?
