Over the years I have accrued a number of drums, with the hope of eventually creating a one or two "consistant kits"
I wont go back the full way in the past, too much surplus info.
However a few years back I got a nice Yammie stage custom of 8 / 10 / rack toms and what was supposed to be a 14 floor tom....only to find to my disguist it was actually a 13 tom.
Initially I "supplemented" the SC with a Gigmaker 12 ' tom and 16' tom. Then I picked up a "half" Tama superstar hyperdrive with 10' tom and 14 floor tom as well as 22' kick.
Fine I thought I will have the Yammie frankenstein and a cutdown hyperdrive.
Just last week I found a cheap other half to the Tama a 10 /12" racks and 16" floor 22 kick.
So I now have a "full" Tammy kit with spares of..
Gigmaker 12 / 16 toms
SC 8/10/13 and 20
Tama 22.
In my "greed" I would like to keep the 8" and even the 10" SC as well as keeping the 20" SC kick which gives a variety in sizes and it has a really lovely sound to it that everyone whos heard it says its the best kick they have heard "ever"
So I am thinking of selling a frankenstein kit of 22 Tama kick 12 and 16 gigmaker toms and 13 SC snare . I could offer a Gigmaker snare or a more expensive (way more expensive) Jarrah stave 14 by 5.
I could add in the 10SC tom as well...I just like its sound.
Question is at what price range to sell a mix of intermediate and "beginner" gear.
I was thinking "high end beginner" say $700 AUS which sounds a lot to you lucky sods elsewhere.... but it is competing with "californians" "percussion plus etc at $500 used or $900 for a new gigmaker.
So thats say $700 for a 12/13/16 tom 22 kick and 14' gigmaker snare with ZBTs :thrown in.
Would be $400 more for the stave snare and more still if higher end cymbals are wanted. (14' Agop alchemy hats, 20' Paiste Alpha or Meinl raw bell rides)
Any thoughts welcomed, even suggested changes in the lineup would be good.
I could offer the 8 and 10 Stage Customs but think the Gigmaker stuff will always drag the price down !!
Cheers
