The shell pack: 14 x 18 bass drum
14 x 14 floor tom
12 x 8 rack tom
13 x 7 snare drum
$450 for shell pack. ($200 savings from buying new.)

All of the drums are the white pearl finish.

Paiste Cymbals: 14 inch Sound Edge Hi-Hats
15 inch Fast Crash
16 inch Fast Crash
17 inch Fast Crash
20 inch Full Ride
10 inch Splash
16 inch Thin China
Meinl tambourine for the hi-hat
Asking $1,650 for everything.

I would only consider the crashes and ride if I were to purchase the kit.
 
I would say that it's an absolutely wonderful deal if those are cymbals that you like...they're worth over $2300 new by themselves.
 
The shell sizes are what I'm mostly looking at, I would want a 10 RT over the 12 personally, but for 450 I can't really beat it.

I would also be looking for darker cymbals. The sizes are their, but to throw $1600 bucks on something I don't want seems impractical.

On the other hand, my local music shop has a new yamaha stage custom in the sizes I want with some new solid hardware all for $899. I worked a deal to get just the RT, FT and BD for like $500 no hardware.

I just wouldn't know what to do about my monster 70's Ludwig if/when I do buy a new kit.
 
Even though I have a Catalina Club Jazz kit that I like, it all seems to be a bit high priced. As said above, do you really need all of those cymbals? I would offer less and see what happens. Those are good drums though. Peace and goodwill.
 
Still no tax return. Ugh.

I was thinking that was a little much also and I don't need all those cymbals.

Oh well. Just a little window shopping.
