I Got a Killer Deal on a TAMA Kit: What did it Take to Restore it?

I bought a great kit with great cymbals for cheap, but it needed a little TLC. I cleaned it up and sold it on to a deserving family.

The drum set is fantastic. It sounds really nice and my kids and my wife love it. Oh and I love it as well. Such an amazing deal. Thank you, thank you very much!!!!

I'm so glad you like it, and I'm so glad it went to such a good home! Thanks so much for watching the video, I appreciate it.

Lol sticky kick was funny….you handled it nicely. Yet another nice drum turn around 😎. Great job Chris they “look marvelous absolutely marvelous.” (‘80s Billy Crystal)

[@christhedrummerkimball]

Ha! Billy Crystal--brilliant comedian. I've hear that Dave's Basement Band is pretty brilliant, too...:)

[@TheSPACEDIEVEST1]

Very good job my friend. I am sure you will have no problem selling this kit.

[@christhedrummerkimball]

Thanks! Yes, the kits I fix up usually sell within 24 hours.

I'm only 4 minutes into the video, but I just saw the pAisTe 2oo2 hi-hats: Those alone are worth more than 200 bucks! I once had the 'Sound Edge' version; Made them look like new by means of cymbal cleaner and still got $450 NZD for them (approx. $300 USD)! This was about 9 years ago, and I'd bought them new for $600 NZD in 1992! 🙂 *Edit:* Oh wow! Those are 'Heavy' hi-hats even! 😀 I would've sold them separately and the set for the same price with some cheaper hi-hats. Tristan definitely got an amazing deal there 🙂

[@christhedrummerkimball]

Thanks for watching! Yes, I figured the cymbals were probably worth about $600 just by themselves. I'm glad it's going to his son.

i used never dull on my b8 cymbals turned out great

And lastly: I had to think of 'The Partridge Family' only very recently when a friend of mine mentioned Andy Partridge, singer and guitarist of the British band XTC! 😄

I really like Gig Harbor.

[@christhedrummerkimball]

It's a beautiful place. Thanks for watching!

[@DrummerGrrrl]

OMG! An Avanti cymbal! I wonder if that brand is as bad as the Camber cymbals? I had a crappy drum set with equally crappy Camber cymbals... hitting that 16" Camber crash was so painful to my ears and pride. It was like, "Booooooooooooong!" LOL. Well! I am shocked! That Avanti cymbal is NICE!

[@christhedrummerkimball]

I was amazed, too--it really sounded great. Thanks for watching!

Thank for a drum 🥁

[@christhedrummerkimball]

Very good! I'm glad you are enjoying them. Keep practicing!

By the way, Remo Pin Stripe heads do *not* have any oil in them! That 'rainbow' effect is caused by the way the light is being reflected by the head's two layers. Apparently *none* of Remo's dual-layer heads have any oil in them, unlike several models made by Evans 🙂

[@christhedrummerkimball]

Fascinating! I did not know that. Thanks for the info!
