Hey guys. I'm going to let my Brady Drums go because I'm moving. It'd be awesome for them to go to someone who really appreciates a custom kit made from jarrah wood. Here's the link ebay
haha I called a few drum stores including the one I bought it from and asked if they've sold any sets since Brady stopped making drums and the prices were in the 6 - 8k range so I figured I'd put it up and take offers. I think Brady went to making very limited runs due to an illness.How much could I get for a kidney?
It's a shame that Brady is no more. Australia has a knack for making some of the most prized exotic kits out there.
I'm assuming their indigenous hardwoods like Jarrah are subject to the same CITES export bans.They have some awesome tropical hardwoods to play with, and enough drummers who want to play around with the sounds those woods deliver. We’re just not that lucky here
I suppose in Australia it's quite common, but here in the States it's rare. The simple fact that DW doesn't have Jarrah drums tells me it's hard to export.Jarrah is pretty common actually, and was used for floorboards for most if the 20th century due to its hardness. Many jarrah stave drums are made from old floorboards. I’m not aware of any export bans or restrictions on jarrah.

I mean, John Good is already down to Almond and Bamboo. If he could've used Jarrah, he would've by now!
Sadly the drum market for high end drums is soft right now. Even more for Boutique brands like your Brady kit. From my experience the magic number for quick sales seems to be less than $2500 . Anything higher will take awhile to sell. Be prepared to wait.

Jarrah floor boards are common in Australia or other places too? Which companies makes snares out of old floor boards, Brady?Jarrah is pretty common actually, and was used for floorboards for most if the 20th century due to its hardness.

I’m waiting for John Good to make a kit out of bent Formica, tell everyone it’s great, and sell kits for $8k to his followersI suppose in Australia it's quite common, but here in the States it's rare. The simple fact that DW doesn't have Jarrah drums tells me it's hard to export.
