Hey Crew,
I can't believe how lucrative this new sideline of mine has become--buying and selling drums, parts, hardware, cymbals, welding up custom hardware, etc., has turned out to be. Just today I made about $190 on parts and stuff that I had about $44 invested in.
It's weird-- the economy is pretty crappy, musicians are starving (not like that's a new thing!) and it seems like drum owners are desperate to "make room" in their homes and get rid of drums CHEAP.
On the OTHER hand, I've been swamped with Craiglist ad responders that have been picking my bones clean looking for all kinds of used heads, hardware, accessories, and you-name-it drum stuff!
On top of that, (as of today) I'm the "official" drum customizer/repair person for 4 of the 5 music stores in the Chico/Paradise/Oroville area music stores, after printing out window banners and business cards to leave at the sites. (I give a 50% discount for the music stores personal drum work)
I just wish I would have gotten into this earlier.
If anyone here needs anything as far as hardware, or custom stuff, email me--mention Drummerworld, and you can have it at my cost--my thanks back to this website, and all the input, advice, and camaradery that D. W. has given and inspired me with.
My email is: [email protected]
