aggiornamento con un po' di storia della 9000 e le date delle modifiche apportate ...
serial numbers ending in Y are YESS mounts
serial numbers ending in YJ are YESS mount in Jazz (ie shallower) sizes
serial numbers ending in RC are older non-YESS in shallower sizes
serial numbers ending in RB are older non-YESS concert toms
serial numbers ending in RF are older non-YESS in deeper 'power' sizes
serial numbers ending in GA (?) are wrapped NOT laquered 9000 series non-YESS.
Some of the very early 9000 series (1978) don't have the full length hi-tension lugs found on the later ones.
Most of the 9000 drums are stained inside - either red or black, again, not all of them have this stain - seems that they started with this in the early 80s.
In October 1987, Yamaha acquired the Premier Percussion factory in England, in an attempt to establish the Yamaha name in the tougher European market. Yamaha placed machinery and trained the Premier craftsmen in the "Yamaha-way" of making drums, resulting in Premier producing a large number of Yamaha drums "made in England". In 1992, Yamaha withdrew and sold their stock shares back to Premier.
To further increase tom-tom sustain, Yamaha introduced the YESS (Yamaha Enhanced Sustain System) tom mount in 1993.

relativamente alla mia,viste le date di introduzione del sistema YESS e i codici (oltre al rullante che compare nel catalogo del 86) direi che il mio modello è del 86-87 a meno che non sia proprio del 92-93 (ma non credo...vorrebbe dire che hanno prodotto quel rullante per almeno 6 anni e visto il ricambio generazionale imposto per marketing la vedo dura).
PS:ringrazio quelli che mi hanno fatto i complimenti per il nuovo acquisto...grazie ragazzi!
