to resurrect a trashed drum is very costly, not just in parts etc, but man hours so to buy it right is key here and no doubt a great kit when restored and some extras to sell to recoup some revenue good luck. i saw this kit and if it was obp id of been all over it ....

VDF's has spoken loud and clear: I'll go for them...But not for a penny more than $200.00...Ill keep you guys posted...

Start at $125 Vin! Those things are rough!!!

there's a lot of drums there. lots of potential. if they were local to me, 300 would be my top figure. it would be really rewarding to give them a fresh breath of life. do you have the time to do it though?

I see what looks like black mold, ply separation, cracked re-rings, BD hoops cracked, out of round and lots of missing parts. You might be able to salvage enough parts for a 3 piece. $100.

Personally, I'd pass.

i've seen them too...as well as the other so-cal drum hounds who run in the same circles. all aggree they are not worth what he's asking and need ALOOOOOOOT of love.

but we all wanna save'em too. for the time and money spend to try and fix them, you wouldn't get that back in the flip. $200. would be generous.

Spoke with guy today. He doesnt want to go lower than $300.00...No way Im spending that much. We'll see what happen in the next couple of days...Perhaps theres another lunatic like me in LA willing to take the risk...Violin

Ya , Im the Illinois lunatic! Hang in there, I doubt he will get 300, might take a while, depends on how stubborn he is.

Wow, I'm totally into saving them, but agreed 500 is a lot. These definitely make me feel a lot better about some of my more trashy drums.
