HO would be 18 according to the date chart, which I think would put the build date at August 2001. The date chart is confusing though and I’ve never been able to use it the way it’s says too on the Yamaha site. I do know my BCA is a ‘QP’ which equals 09 and has a limited edition Y2K red finish from 2000 so I’ve always assumed it was a September 2000 build. Are all the other drums also ‘HO’?
This is what I got out of the Model decorer on the Yamaha site. TT is always tom tom and the second ‘10’ is the diameter. Normally the first set of numbers is the depth but not always. Sorry the pic is blurry, I uploaded it from my phone.

I know I have some old Interstate catalogs from this time period. I started playing drums in 1992 at age 8 and when I was beyond obsessed in the late 90’s with drums, which I guess that hasn’t changed much haha. But I’m really going off memory because these were all dream kits for me as a teenager. I used to study drum catalogs in the pre internet days, that’s really the only way I know any of this.
Some but not all. The rest are close according to my charts. All within the same year of the charts have any accuracy. But from the chart I looked at it appeared they were from the early '80's. I didn't think that was right.

I know what you mean. I started playing in 1964, and I wrote to Ludwig, Slingerland, and Rogers and requested catalogs, which they supplied. I did this every year and each catalog was practically memorized by the time the next editions were released! The fantasies over those catalog kits were almost better than the real things. The mind can do wonderful things, can't it? By the time I actually bought my first pro kit, I think I'd mentally played every kit in those catalogs!
Once I went to work in a music store, the catalog and price list collecting went wild. I took every dealer catalog on all brands and put them in binders in order and with price lists. My store was opened in 1962 and had catalogs stockpiled all the way back to that era. It makes me sick that I can't locate them now.
