Hello everyone,
This is my first post, and I want to congratulate you on a great site. There is a tremendous amount of information and experience here, and I appreciate it.
I've been lurking around the site and reading for quite some time now and have decided to go ahead and purchase a used drum set. This will be my first set, and what I've learned is that I can get more value buying a used set. And if I buy it right I can't lose much on it if I sell it down the road. Thanks to all of you that taught me that!
With that said I'm looking at a few options here that I need to make a decision on within the next couple days. This is my Christmas present.
I'm considering one of the below listed drum sets. Any and all opinions would be greatly appreciated. I'd like to know which set you would buy and why. Thank you very much for your time. Here we go:
