!Bearing Edge Custom Drum Set!
i had these drums on ebay and ended the auction early because i had a buyer but the deal fell through.
i've already had some great $ offers and some very enticing trade offers. i thought i would put this up here to try and offer some other players a crack at these sweet tubs. i would like to get $2000, shipping included, but go ahead, take a shot, make me an offer. i am also considering trades. i am looking for bigger drums, something close to a 13, 16, 22 configuration with a deep (13" or 14") snare.
contact me at [email][email protected][/email] for any questions.

used evans g2 coated on toms with clear g1's on the bottoms.
