I had a beautiful kick drum that was part of a kit arrive damaged. I'm not sure if it was damaged in transit or was damaged before being shipped to me, but I certainly didn't get a partial refund. Reverb asked if I'd accept a partial refund and keep the set. I said no I wanted to return it and get full refund. That is standard procedure for Reverb. Buyer gets that choice. So, unless the drums were described with defects or described in only fair condition or something like that, OP chose to keep drums along with partial refund. That is really bad damage. OP must have really really wanted that kick drum it must be valuable, rare, or else was just a super-cheap basket case to begin with. But that's way more damage than I'd ever accept. And in that last pic you can see there is way more damage to shell than just the bearing edge. The shell is cracked well below the edge.
