Members gonzobassman Posted November 8, 2011 Members Share Posted November 8, 2011 Long story short.My son had a killer drum set that I got him many years ago.Added to every birthday,and christmas. When he sold it,it was a really killer Tama Rockstar Custom 6-piece set.He went off to the Army,and now several years later he is wanting to play again.He found a Pearl Export series 5-piece set that is in immaculate condition.It also has an assortment of nothing fancy cymbals,and stands,but it has a DW double kick pedal (4000) series. He is asking me if $500 is a good deal. I told him to try to get it for $400,as he will have to replace all the cymbals(eventually),but that is just me.I usually post in Live Sound,and the Bass forums,but this is a drum issue,and your help(opinions)would be very helpful, Thank-You !

Members FitchFY Posted November 8, 2011 Members Share Posted November 8, 2011 Depending on where you're located and what the availability is like, I'd say between $400 and $500 is good. The DW double pedal is definitely a selling point. Thank you to your son for serving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gonzobassman Posted November 8, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 8, 2011 Thats kinda what I thought.He is in the panhandle of Florida now.If the drums were kinda {censored}ty I would say NOOO! But he has been around pretty high quality stuff his whole life,and if he says immaculate,then these are like new.I will pass on your thanks!

Members cearleywine Posted November 8, 2011 Members Share Posted November 8, 2011 $500 is decent for a full kit. I'm guessing the cymbals to be at least B8's or zbt's? If they are cheaper than those, I'd certainly offer less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danrothmusic Posted November 8, 2011 Members Share Posted November 8, 2011 500 is fine, but I would offer 3 or 350 first and expect to pay 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gonzobassman Posted November 9, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 9, 2011 Thanx guys. I'm thinking it will do to get him back into playing,and I'm seeing a Ziljian A series cymbal pack in his future from good ole dad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
