Yamaha only makes traditional Japanese instruments in Japan and pearl higher end models are still made in Taiwan.
I'd only want a German Sonor, Taiwan Pearl, US Ludwig or Gretsch, Japanese Tama, British Premier. Etc. Keep the company and employees in business in their home country. I always try to not buy anything from China, but sometimes there is no choice and you have to.
I've never had Nike shoes and I was given an iPhone and never used it.
I'd never buy a Yamaha set since they aren't making them in Indonesia anymore. And I don't care what kind of quality you might get lucky with on a Chinese set, if I want a set I want it made where the company is from, not slave labor or funding the military expansion in my region.Which great drum factories switched from Taiwan to China ?? ..... Pearl Pro level is still Taiwan. ...... Tama and Yamaha primary pro level are in China.. but moved from Japan..... and the china stuff is as good as anything out there IMO.. Go examine a Yamaha Absolute Hybrid shell up close.. but don't compare it to anything American so you don't embarrass us Americans.. LOL
