On every Yamaha Drum logo badge there are 2 sets of number/letter sequences. The model number of the drum is on the LEFT (IE: TT-912Y). The serial number will always be to the RIGHT of the model number. Please use the information below to determine the production date. NOTE: This will date drums from 1980 on only. If the drum or drum kit is believed to be older, please send Yamaha Customer Support a note and we will be happy to assist you further. 1980-1989: Drums are coded with two-letter prefix on the serial numbers. The first letter in the serial number indicates the year of manufacture; the second letter is the month. Example: OL = 1988/May, OM= 1988/June. H I J K L M N O P Q S X Y Z 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 * 10 11 12 *Indicates prototype of first run in production. 1990-Present: Drums are coded with three-letter prefix on the serial numbers. The first two letters indicate year, the third letter indicates the month (1=Jan, 2=February, etc.). Example: PPI=February 1999(PP=99 I=Feb.) H I J K L M N O P Q X Y Z 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 10 11 12 JHX-3451 JH=13 10=October so it looks like they were made in October of 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
