Yukihiro Takahashi's Gear
As part of YMO's setup during their winter 1981 tour.
The Simmons pads, which were used during YMO's 1983 tour, can be seen 1:12.
Yuki uses a Pollard Syndrum Quad and drum modules from 1978-1980. It is distinctly used in their first three studio albums, most notibly during the percussion break on Rydeen. It can also been seen and heard in live videos/recordings from 1978-1980. The source I used is one of many, but inlcludes an in-depth look at most of the equipment used for their live shows during this time,
Yuki can clearly be seen playing the SPD-S starting at 1:15
Korg Minilogue can be seen in this video (Live starts at 10:55)
He's promoting his signature snare drum in this video.
He has been using Tama bell brass 14×6.5 snare since the YMO days. It is based on an early model equipped with a built-in mute. It also has a pressed hoop (brass) hitting surface and a die-cast hoop bottom. (The source of this blog is from the drum magazine.)
Ludwig Speed King Bass Drum Pedal L203 is in his drum set in this post.
(English translation) "When it comes to CASIO at this time, we cannot forget the name of Yukihiro Takahashi, a career drummer/vocalist for YMO and a symbolic artist of the era: in a tour article featured in the February 1986 issue, he reported the use of the special edition CZ-5000 (designed to hold sticks designed), as well as the Cosmo Synthesiser as a sound source for electronic drums, and the CASIO RZ-1 rhythm machine, which he himself provided samples for."

(English translation) "Yukihiro's guitar. He mainly played a Gibson B-25 (left), but also played the same Chet Atkins model (right) on 'I Saw The Light' and 'Today's Sky'. At the Kyoto and Kobe shows, he also performed a cover of Bob Dylan's 'Don't Think Twice, It's All Right'."
(English translation) "Roland SP-404SX (sampler) was used to play the rhythm parts on some songs at the Kyoto/Kobe shows."
Metioned as his hi hat in this page. (Translated in English) "Hi-hat stand: ROGERS SUPREME, early model? (Discontinued, vintage) *Seems to have been ROGERS during the YMO era, but then went DW. Reverted to ROGERS in recent years. *Not SWIV-O-MATIC as the leg is different from the swan leg."
