YAMAHA POWER TOUR CUSTOM 8000 SERIES 6 PIECE DRUM KIT, COBALT BLUE (PRE-LOVED)

Here we have a true icon of a drum kit. This is a Yamaha Power Tour Custom (also known as the 8000 series) The Power Tour is little brother to the Recording Custom though over the years when it was in production many artists such as Manu Katché favoured the Tour Custom which later became the Rock Tour Custom featuring the same long lugs as the Recording Custom.

The tour custom shell is a Birch / Mahogany blend. The sound of the 8000 is very similar to the 9000 but with more low end if you can believe it! These drums are incredibly toneful and the bass drum probably has the edge on the 9000 series which many users have found lacks slight bottom end.

The kit we have here is finished in the legendary Cobalt Blue, there are a great range of sizes here making this a really versatile rig, all the drums are the power depth options which were highly popular at the time. This kit is probably circa 1983/84 and it was made in the Japanese factory. It’s in incredible condition, everything is original including the super sized Yamaha logo head!

This kit will be equally happy on the stage or in the studio, it’s an incredibly well built kit, with many features still recognisable from kits offered in the current Yamaha line up.
