The part numbers for individual Yamaha drums started with “TT” for tom-tom or “BD” for bass drum, followed by the series and I believe the size. So....
BD= Bass Drum
5= 5000 series
22= 22” diameter

I’m guessing that’s what you’re saying was wrote on the badge.
The 5000 series was their entry level kit made from Luan wood. Good drums...as was/is anything Yamaha, but not particularly special. They would be equivalent to Tama Rockstars or Pearl Exports.

I played on a 5000 series Yamaha kit that was Made In Japan (MIJ) when I started recording tracks at my friends home recording studio 9 years ago. It's a pretty decent kit but you are correct as being Yamaha's entry level offering. Thanks for clearing up how to read the serial number. Great info!
