Really, any quality hi hats that you get for under 200 is a steal. They are just too expensive.


Anyone want to jump on these Paiste MASTERSOUND Hi Hats?

[Trip McNealy]

On a seperate note I bought some sticks and heads from Musicians friend and in the box were 8 Digital guitar tuners (Aside from what I ordered) that I neither ordered nor paid for. I called for 2 weeks trying to get return authorization but no one would return my calls and no one seemed interested in talking to me so I gave them all away as gifts.

Oh shove it ;)

they still sound awesome, shoulda been a $120 if anyone knew what they were selling.

[Skacatz]

A pair of barely used 14" Sabian Xcellerator hats for $125.00. When they arrived they were packed in a padded Paiste cymbal bag.

[Sinsyk17]

I once paid 155 euros for a Paiste sound formula reflector 16"power crash and a 16" thin china.

Yeah I have seen alot of Sound Formula's for cheap.

[805Drummer]

Well, I got it on Craigslist, like someone up there ^^^^, but it was still an AMAZING deal. I got a 14" white Yamaha SFZ Snare, in pretty good condition (after I cleaned it), for....$20. It's retail price is $450 on most websites.

Then my marching band percussion instructor gave me a Remo White Max drum head. Now all I need is a new reso head, and I'm good to go! (The one that came with the snare was a SEVERELY warped Attack.

As a side note, I'll sell it to whoever wants it. PM me the price.

[Khaine88]

The UFIP Class ride barely used i got for £104, cleaned it when i got it and it looks brand new (cam is broke so cant take a pic of it on my kit)

[jayu]

Hmmm... from the past six months or so
2 Sonor Force kits (NOT shell packs) for $550 each shipped. Both were brand new in boxes. I thought these were really cheap for a nice kit.
14" Paiste 2002 Heavy hats - $105 shipped really good condition. top hat label is almost gone
13" Sabian HHX Groove hats - $185 shipped. Pretty good for a new pair.

I do find alot better deals on craigslist
14" A custom mastersound hats, 18" A custom Fast Crash, 18" A custom Projection Crash & a 21" A Sweet Ride for $300 altogether ---- sweetest deal I've had
17" Paiste signature fast crash & 18" Paiste signature Mellow crash for $250

WHAT????!!!! AND YOU DID NOT POST ANY DRUM PORN OF IT....INCREDIBLE OVERSIGHT ON YOUR PART!!!!

[805Drummer]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, and to think that I could have bargained even more. The guys selling it found it in their neighbor's trash (they weren't the richest people ever, to say the least) and put that, along with some other drums (including a Roger's kit, which got taken before I came), and some other marching bass drums. But I had the advantage of my dad's iPhone, and looked up the cost of it before I bought it.

That's a total score!

Yeah, there are a lot of amazing deals out there right now. I know, because I've recently sold some stuff on eBay that went for way less than it should have. Definitely a buyer's market right now.

Its like some people dont know what things are actually worth. There is nothing around my area for Craiglist....sort of annoying.

[Budiesel]

I won a Pork Pie Little Squealer for $61.00 about a year ago

[joshisaces]

I got DW 7002pt double pedal for $75.

Looking at Ebay right now at Pearl popcorn snares, maple 10X6
Gear tree $179.95

SSE Music $279.00

Both Brand new, same finish, etc. No mark up there

[Billy Brown]

Yeah, and to think that I could have bargained even more. The guys selling it found it in their neighbor's trash.

Sure he did... Or he is telling the truth, and it was the neighbor's son, not him, who stole it from the high school band room.

I don't know, but I don't think so. The bottom head was SUPER warped, and the top head wasn't even finger-tightened. The drum was so scratched up, it looked like someone just stopped caring, and dropped it on the curb or something.

[TheMarkV]

ive gotten some pretty good deals. none of which were from ebay.

but i like this thread. it gives me hope haha
