I'm a teen and I'm up all night so right now is mid-day LOL! I do understand though, I always wait until after 10am to call; anything before then or after 9pm is rude! What are you selling?

I had a Yamaha YD drum set that I cleaned up and passed along to one of my students (who saw it on craigslist). The set sounds pretty good. Maybe the caller wrote down the number a few days ago but didn't call until now. It has been off of craigslist for more than a day.

BTW, is Coda a high level drum set?

I was going to contribute to this thread, but after 5 min on CL I figured, whats the point? Its like shooting fish in a barrel, EVERY Sound Percussion, CB, etc. kit I looked at had something laughable in it.

The ad reads:

pics say it all...comes with everything you see...including a guarantee to rock!

Warning...if you play this kit...ladies will throw their panties at you (that's why I have to get rid of it)

call mike"

They just want him for his Zilgidans.

Hahahaha! Is like every single person you see that is selling for under 400$ has their toms aimed at their faces with the snare drum behind them!

classicstar · #87 12-23-2010, 09:47 PM

Apparently they don't understand physics lol

I have a friend who has played drums for 2 years and has the toms at a 90 degree angle.
It is the biggest P.O.S. Pearl Export I have ever seen. It depresses me

ambientgreg · #92 12-24-2010, 01:12 AM

When I saw the pic with the massively taped up toms, It reminded me of this clip from adult swim

I don't see him often. I don't really like him anyway lol
But the tom angles are similar to the Starion kit from the tampa bay ads.

One of his cymbals is a crappy TKO that sounds like a china because of all the dents along the side, one of the bass drum spurs is missing, the heads are a year and a half old and still has the stock resos (the kit itself is about 4 years old) and the bass pedal spring is stretched beyond belief. I had to gig with it once and not only did I want to just put this thing to rest, but I knew I was being judged on the condition it was in. One thing is for sure, it had one of the best kick drum sounds I have EVER heard. That was pretty much all it had going for it.

I bet he argues with you on whether its set up correctly or not!

I don't even bother, if you've been playing drums for 2 years and play a setup like that, there is something terribly wrong with you

Made by TKO This great, affordable 5-piece set is perfect for young beginning and advancing drummers looking for a first 5-piece drum set! This set provides a full 5-piece setup and features the great sound and quality that has made TKO one of the top names in beginner/intermediate drum sets. This drum set is made specifically for smaller drummers (age 7-11) who have advanced beyond the 3-piece drum set stage but are not yet ready for larger, more expensive advanced drum sets. Hi-hat cymbals * Bass mounted cymbal stand & cymbal * Throne & Drumsticks included. This item is slightly used in great condition. One of the Drums has a hole in it that can be replace cheap but the whole does not effect the sound.... a 300 dollar value.... Feel free to email me with any questions or concerns Thanks!!!

Such A Deal!!!
My own mother, I would give a deal to like this.

GRUNTERSDAD · #**103** 01-05-2011, 01:55 AM

I'm glad that whole(sic) doesn't affect the sound.

Whole, Hole, Its all the same!!!
Talk about a contradiction.
One word implies that the head is in one piece and the other implies the opposite.
Isn't english stupid?

That is without a doubt the ugliest drum kit that I have ever seen in 40 years of playing and looking at drum porn.
My God Man, What were you thinking when you chose that color scheme?

They're so ugly that I want them.

aaajn · #**113** 01-06-2011, 12:08 PM

Those drums certainly are as advertised.... Custom Painted.

They look like an orange creamsicle.

No....noooooo.........did they really put that on the internet...?

I'm so shocked I didn't laugh...

bobdadruma · #**117** 01-08-2011, 03:25 AM

That ad had to be a joke, At least I hope that it was!
I don't want to think that anyone could be that stupid.

GRUNTERSDAD · #**118** 01-08-2011, 03:49 AM

I think he/she is just ragging on some of the silly posts that end up on that site.
