I have been offered a kit but have not seen it in the flesh . as it is 200 miles away from my home at the moment

The labels on the kit say Drum World but I can't seem to find out anything about them , apart from a shop in USA

It seems like quite a nice kit but I could be wrong , and the price is very reasonable indeed !

Person playing them or at least the person setting them up isn't a serious drummer... suspension mounts are promising... can you get closer pictures of the bearing edges of the drums or something?

I concur . The people selling it know nothing about it at all. It also has what look like Le Blond cases with it .....

It ALMOST looks like a keller shelled custom kit... thin shells.. can almost make out the bearing edges but not quite. I'd have to see the edges close up to really tell. If that's the case then it probably sound killer.

Hi EdenDub,

Here's one for sale on Ebay UK. Describes it as a beginners kit?? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/drum-world-drum-kit-2-bass-drums-cymbals-9-piece-kit_W0QQitemZ290129059491QQihZ019QQcategoryZ38097Q QssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

...and here's the Drum World UK site :-( http://www.drumworlduk.com/

Difficult to say whether this is the same Drum World though!

how much is this kit going for? it seems to have good looking hardware, nice finish.....price? but the way the snare and HH are placed are just r-e-t-a-r-d-e-d

The kit on the ebay site doesn't even look the same class as this one .

Although the make does seem to be the same .........

The kit is £200 ( which includes a full set of hard cases) , but involves an 8 hour round trip to pick it up ( and £60 petrol) !

This is confusing ..........but good fun !!

buy em. if you dont like them, then strip the lugs and hardware and buy some kellers, and build your own.

shoot, 400 bucks is almost as mucha s the lugs cost anyways!

Bit of a long shot but I do quite a bit of travelling in the UK, where is the kit and where are you based?

yeah, the Stage Master kits are/were considered professional quality, and a few guys use them (but no one you would have ever heard of)- but as the website says, the company is no longer.

If you do get the kit enjoy!

Is that ''second bass drum other kit'' a Ludwig champagne sparkle? Am I very wrong?
