Members SkiAz4Free Posted September 4, 2009 Members Share Posted September 4, 2009 hmmmm, 10 lug acro? Those B/W badges always steer me away, but it does look like it's in pretty good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cdawg Posted September 4, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 4, 2009 i meant the brass one, below it EDIT: sorry, that's the one you were talking about... seemed like decent prices, tho. if i could squeeze him down a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lossforgain Posted September 4, 2009 Members Share Posted September 4, 2009 The Acro on top is an okay price but the last 2 I've sold like that were right at $100. You can definitely spend less on that drum. The brass drum is okay -- it's a Rockers series. The 6.5 depth helps though, I'd say it's a fair price. I did recently see a used Black Magic for $200 and I'd take that over the Rockers drum any day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members manoeuver Posted September 4, 2009 Members Share Posted September 4, 2009 $125 ain't bad for a brass drum, but $200 will get you something much sexier. like a used pork pie big black- yum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cdawg Posted September 4, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 4, 2009 yeah, i was more interseted in the brass, but i don't have an acro either. if i can get a little come-down, come-down, might be worth it. i like the idear of a 6.5er. EDIT: i offered 2 hunny for both. we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members lossforgain Posted September 4, 2009 Members Share Posted September 4, 2009 $200 for both is a good deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members manoeuver Posted September 4, 2009 Members Share Posted September 4, 2009 yah, that's some serious snare territory for 2 bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cdawg Posted September 5, 2009 Author Members Share Posted September 5, 2009 he's meeting me close, 220, but no case. i think that's pretty fair. claiming pretty damn fine condition, so... gotta see if i can make some quick scratch and shake the wife and kid for a bit tomorrow...

Members polarnewfie Posted September 5, 2009 Members Share Posted September 5, 2009 I'd give both of those a "Hot" for 2 bills. Not a lot of difference in sound between those and other brass snares. Get good heads, wires, and tune it up right and you'll never know its not a black beauty. And as for the Acro, its always a sweet choice. Just put a decent mic on her, run it through a 4 track and see what I mean. Aluminum records great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then my advice would be this:SELL the Catalina for $80-100SELL the steel Yamaha for $50-70SELL the steel cheapy for $40ADD the $200 you were going to spend on these two drums and buy a killer snare drum for $400. You can get a used 6.5x14 Black Beauty for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(with that, i think i just felt my weenis move.) thanks, loss. for real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members lossforgain Posted September 8, 2009 Members Share Posted September 8, 2009 You can get a nice Dynasonic for less than you think. A nice one on ebay can usually be had for $300-400. Go dude go! Get selling! Glad I could help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go dude go! Get selling! Glad I could help. heh heh. yeah, you're a real bastard, gettin' the wheels turnin' for me! i'm REALLY the kinda guy that thinks things through too much before buying... i know i'll own a dyna one day, but ya think i should go for a different (easier,) snare for now? i was drooling over the stewart copeland snare from another thread. that's pretty reasonable, price-wise.

Members lossforgain Posted September 8, 2009 Members Share Posted September 8, 2009 Eh, I'm not into the Copeland drum. My sarcasm on the thread you mention was lost upon the OP of the pic. I think if you want a Dyna, get a Dyna. They aren't my thing -- I have fallen completely in love with all varieties of Ludwig Supras. I think the drum that will make you drool is a 6.5x14 Black Magic or Black Beauty. I LOVE MINE, it just "has it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
