I wanted to hear some of your opinions. I have been searching for a new kit and happened to come across a 4 piece mapex orion shell pack in the sizes I would like for $700. Great deal right? But of course there is a down side. Every metal hoop has a good amount of rust on it. The bass drum hoops have quite a few scuffs and dings and each drum definitely has a few battle scars. Is this kit still worth it if the bearing edges are all still good?
I'd basically have to replace most of the hoops, though I'm not sure what I'd do for the bass drum, polish all of the remaining hardware, sand down any major scuffs and re-coat the shells. (Assuming they didn't go beyond the clear coat)
Who let's their kit take on this kind of abuse?!?!
