vintagemore2000, I'll weigh and post pix of my cymbals ASAP. Thanks.

Batterhead, thanks for the responses. Hopefully someone else will chime in about the value of a set like mine.

This is all new to me so I really appreciate that you all shared your knowledge.

I response to vintagemore 2000's request, here is more info on the cymbals:

(I used my old 32-ounce scale to weigh them, so I don't know how accurate this is; I converted ozs to grams using Google's conversion tool)

-the 16" crash is about 992 grams

-the 14" hi-hats are each about 765.5 grams

I'm attaching photos of the markings.

Thanks again!

Not claiming to be expert in cymbals, and I may be off here, but to me that appears to be a 1950's Zildjian...very nice!

But again, not being involved in the buying/selling aspects of this stuff, I can't offer a value.

As for the Hi-Hats I have no idea at all.

Thanks Batterhead, I'll do some research into the Zildjian's age. Now, how do I get more people on this forum to reply with info/guesses/ballpark estimates on value? :confused:

Sorry, DownTownFarmer, good point. My intent is to sell the kit.

Thanks,

Sonora

The Zildjian looks like a 1970s stamp to me. Worth about $100, on a good day.

Thanks, Rocketman. Good to know.

Nice drums. Buddy Rich set? I'd say around 1200-1800. Depending on factors. Maybe a tad more. Probably not less.

Thanks, Madchops82! I would guess it's a Buddy Rich, but I'm by no means an expert. Actually I'm clueless! I appreciate that you took a stab at the price range they'd get.Cool1
