I don't own any Yamaha products - my hardware is a mix of Tama, Sonor, Premier, Pearl and Gibraltar - but this is the first thread I have read, on any Drum Forum, ever, where someone has posted that they don't like Yamaha hardware!
I have always bought good quality used hardware so I never feel the need to upgrade, the reason I don't have any Yamaha hardware is I've never seen any used Yamaha hardware for sale... It seems that owners of Yamaha hardware don't want to sell it or it gets snapped up quickly and I've missed it..
