used DW kit & ZBT cymbals for 30K ?!?

[Superman]

Came across this ad on Craigslist today; guy wants 30K for a used DW kit, gold Gibraltar hardware and Zildjian ZBT cymbals. They were supposedly made for a famous drummer..but that info is a secret.

The Exotic finish is Twisted Tropical Olive, which is no longer available. Aside from that, I wish the seller all the best in garnering the asking price (tongue in cheek).

I wonder if he'd sell the ZBT's separately for 5 K?

A lowball offer like that would be insulting don't you think? I mean come on, $5K for all those cymbals?

 

[AzHeat]

He did say genuine gold. Doesn't that add at least 50k to the kit and ZBTs being in the presence of such perfection.....priceless!

Lets play "guess the band/drummer this kit was made for" game!
Based on the setup in pic... i would say...
Neil Peart

Haha

Tris Imboden perhaps?

Nope, that kit is Twisted Rainbow. Wrong Exotic. Good guess though!

Meh, my compeltely BS vote would be $5K for everything and maybe something closer to $10K with signed proof of use etc. by said famous drummer depending on who the cat is......

 

[opentune]

c'mon the entire ad/story is BS. what 'famous drummer' would use ZBT's?

 

[single-ply]

Maybe he meant that the cymbals were actual gold plates.

I would argue that the craigslist add and the promo picture show the same set, just with very different light.

Seriously though, isn't there a law that prohibits ZTB's from being used with higher-end drums?

Like putting 87 octane in a Ferrari......

For such an 'incredible sounding kit', why all the Moongel positioned on each drum??

This thread reminded me to look at CL today...

There should be a Humane Society, but for drums. Someone needs to rescue these.

Either that, or send them out to the farm.

Roaring with laughter!

 

[Stroker]

I see the seller has dropped the price down to $29K. Must not be offering the throne with the kit now.

That's what I was thinking.

I'm going to e-mail him tomorrow as a "serious buyer" and try to find out who this "mysterious famous drummer" is.
