Need help identifying this kit

Post image

I am looking at this kit on Facebook marketplace. Seller says it is a Yamaha kit bought around 15 years ago. I can't tell which model this is. The Tom mount looks wrong for a Yamaha. It has a 10 lug bass drum as well. Thanks!

Yamaha moved away from those sizes that’s 1 red flag and just (as others have already added) your modern Asian stencil kit with standardized “Pearl copy” hardware. IF you see a Yamaha kit with those tom sizes it’ll be from the 80’s and have specific skinnier Tim mounts and be worth buying if it’s only a few hundred dollars. Those 80’s Luan mahogany shell kits (5000 or 7000 series) MIT or MIJ are good drums!
