Hey everyone,
Well I ran across an unbelievable deal on craigslist the other day....someone's selling a DW collector's series maple kit (12/14/16/22 - my exact sizes) for $800 just a few hours away from where I live. I emailed the guy and got a few more pictures and it turns out the drums are beat up as hell... They've apparently been on tour and such WITHOUT cases and obviously no care was taken in maintaining them, but they're still DWs. I think this might be a good buy regardless, if anything, maybe as a project or something to sand down all the shells and re-finish it.
I figure as long as the bearing edges aren't damaged and the shells aren't out of round, they'd still be worth fixing.
I'll attach some pictures... they're all really scratched and one floor tom even has a gouge in it, let me know what you guys think.
Thanks,
Adam
