I Bought a Drum Set for $50--Can I Flip it? (Part II)

I fixed up an inexpensive drum set and tried to sell it on the internet, it worked!

Awesome! I'm a fan of the Mandolorian so I love "the child" on his hi-hat!

[@christhedrummerkimball]

Ha! That was totally his idea, and I got a kick out of it when he sent me the video. Thanks for watching!

I just picked up a PDP 5 piece kit with hi hat stand, kick pedal, snare stand, a Zildjian ZBT crash and a Zildjian K Custom Hybrid crash for $120 a couple weeks ago. I'm saving up for some hi hats, ride cymbal and some cymbal stands to get back into drumming after not owning a kit for about 10 years. I play guitar and bass too, just can't sing my way out of a paper bag.

[@christhedrummerkimball]

That sounds like an awesome deal! Good luck putting the rest of the kit together--with patience you'll be able to get what you need at a good price.

@@christhedrummerkimball I haven't had any luck finding any more good deals locally. Used online costs too much to ship. I'm probably gonna wind up getting some low end hats and ride, Meinl HCS seems decent for bedroom jamming. Then I'll build it up one peice at a time with better stuff.

@@joethelowbudgetdrummer7743 Ebay sometimes has some good deals, reverb.com is also good sometimes.

:)...Turn your left hand over so that your palm is facing the drum head. Your Right hand will usually follow that; that makes a "matched grip". It's more ergonomic to move your wrist up and down flat than on the edge, which requires your arm to move...Also Set your hi-hat just a bit lower. The sooner you learn 4 limb independence the better...:)... Good luck with the set.

I hope the new owner, Eric, subscribes to my channel and has a chance to read your comment, thanks!

So you sell these kits?

[@christhedrummerkimball]

Yes, once I get them all cleaned up I sell them for about what I have into them. Check out my latest video, I bought a couple of Pulse sets I'm combining.

Do you have any social media? Facebook instagram etc? I was dead serious about you doing my next kit... my name is Jorge pilot by the way you can check my page and see a couple of my videos I’ve posted but I would love to work with you on a customs kit... I’m not really a cosmetics guy. It’s alllll about the sound and how it sounds recorded... I really do have a pub deal on the table and my next studio is gonna be my heaven on earth I’m gonna do a 2 story steel garage upstairs tech shop downstairs live and control room... check me out when you get a chanfe

Right now I got a standard yamaha rydeen, gretsch 8x14 swamp dawg snare. Ziljdan sweet hats but I’m getting ready to get these paiste master thin hats cuz the zildjans cut through in the snare mic so much... so I did some research and imma go with the paiste thin masters hopefully that will cut down on that hihat bleed... but overall my kit sounds pretty good on wax....

@@jpilot07 Very cool! I just replaced all the heads on my North kit with Fiberskyns (that video is on my channel, too) and I'm thinking I'll go with those or maybe Pinstripes on my Sonor kit.
