hi can anyone pls identify this snare?

theres no name, all it says is "YAMAHA made in japan" model number SD855TC
serial number PP-2128. dimensions 14x5.5 black. It also has pwer hoops. My guess is its a 80's or 90's year but im not sure? And how would i know its value? a lot of people are intrested in my snare..

pls help!!!

I've searched my 80's stuff and no reference to this model number. I think it is 90's or very late 80's.

I would compare it to a current model in Yamaha production and probably charge less. Since it is a newer drum it would not gain value like a vintage drum.

New drums are like buying new cars, once you get them off of the lot they depreciate in value.

I have 2 Yamaha snares in my collection so I do like them and will continue to play them.

Sending a picture to me would also help.

thank you so much david for your time and expert advice on this... could this snare be a 80's-90's recording custom? and what wood is this? new drum? but new yamaha drums have names on them right? like stage custom.. etc.. I purchased this second hand... here a picture..

I LOVE THIS SITE!!!!

O.k. I have to rethink my post.

Unfortunately this is out of me element and will have to look into
my catalogs a little deeper.

Let me get back to you on this.
