Last January I ended up moving from an Apartment above a Law Firm (could play drums at certain times) to a Condo (no way in hell to play acoustic drums). To help with moving expenses I ended up selling my Sonor Force 2001 Fusion Kit.
I had previously purchased the kit used and had only owned them for about a year, but they were the first kit I truly was proud of. They weren't the highest end of drums, by any means, but they looked and to me sounded very professional. After months and months of looking for matching additions to my kit, I found someone selling an 8" Tom down in the US. Ended up paying $100 for him to ship it to me, fell in love with 3 Up 1 Down immediately.
Upon selling my drums, I asked the gentlemen to let me know if he were ever going to resell them, as I may be interested. Well, just a few days ago I received an email asking if I'd like to buy them back.
I am once again moving, this time to a house (where I'll be able to play drums again!). As you can imagine, I am extremely excited and can't tell you how much I've missed being able to bang away as loud as I want.
I guess if you haven't already guessed what I'm going to ask, I'll just go ahead and say it.
Do you think it would be wise to invest $400-500 on my old Drum Kit (just the Shell Pack) or would it be better spent putting it towards a higher level kit?
I know the Sonor 2001s are fairly outdated, but I also know for a fact I can make them sound good. Oh they also look awesome too! Guess they've got a bit of sentimental value as well, hence me making this thread.
Attached is an older picture (only one I could find) that doesn't include the 8".
Anyway, please let me know what you guys think.
