Hello folks, I've been scraping around on the internet for information on my kit for years and I figure now's a good as time as any to apply to the collective knowledge of the Drummerworld forum...
Here we go, it's an Arbiter Maple kit (not the cheaper MT kit with the plastic lining). As you can see, it's got the AutoTune system. As far as I can tell, it's quite rare - it's certainly the only one I've ever seen! I bought it from a music shop in the UK about 11 years ago.
Drum sizes are:
Snare 14 x 5
Bass 22 x 18
Tom1 10 x 8
Tom2 12 x 10
Floor Tom 14 x 12

The thing is, I love this kit and it's worked wonderfully for me in the bands I've been in ever since getting it, but I've finally made it into a proper rock band and it's not really a rock kit plus...well...I fancy a change. Given that I only have room for one kit in my life, I'm sadly going to have to shift this one on before going for the DW kit I have my eye on.
And here's where you lovely people come in - I know Arbiter have effectively gone out of business and that this is now a very rare kit, but I don't know if that means it's worth two grand or twenty quid! Looking around on FleaBay/Loot/Gumtree has been no help, so I have no idea what I should be asking when I try and sell the old beauty. Any help out there?
