My Most Expensive Drum Kit Flip Yet--but it's Still an Incredible Deal!

I help a friend by cleaning up his Ludwig drum kit (with great cymbals), advertising it, and selling it!

[@jgttx]

I love sets like this. You can get some good stuff with mixed sets. Those cymbals were nice. I love quick beat hi hats.

[@christhedrummerkimball]

Thanks for watching! I like almost all A. Zildjian hi-hats!

[@donjohnson9063]

That kit cleaned up great nice work Chris hope they do get some fun out of it.

[@christhedrummerkimball]

I think they will, the guy who bought it was a really good guy and seemed very appreciative!

[@sticksbass]

cliff had those drums sounding great.

[@christhedrummerkimball]

He did. I think he regrets selling them! He said with his current living situation, electronic drums will be better.

[@jgttx]

Sheeeet!!! 600 dollars?? I would have bought on the spot!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@christhedrummerkimball]

Yeah, the idea behind these videos is to give the buyer a really great deal. Thanks for watching!

[@jimprice260]

Nice work Chris

[@christhedrummerkimball]

Thank you and thanks for watching, I appreciate it!

[@sticksbass]

u had them sounding great too!

[@christhedrummerkimball]

Thank you! I appreciate it.

Wonder if wet sanding would help the discoloration

[@christhedrummerkimball]

I thought about that, but I didn't want to risk it. Wraps can easily be ruined because the layer of color can be extremely thin.

[@drumyak2339]

I guess there are different theories of buying a drumset. All that nice chunky dirt and sweat and tears you're just washing away..that stuff adds to the sound! Sacrilege I tell ya! :) edit: $600 is pretty much a steal for this kit.

[@christhedrummerkimball]

I thought it was a really good deal, too! Thank you for wathing!

[@DrummerGrrrl]

I hardly ever see Quick Beat hi-hats.

[@christhedrummerkimball]

Me either!

[@cathydrums2846]

That’s what I have. Quick Beat!

[@sticksbass]

oh, bar keepers friend. i thought u use brasso.

[@christhedrummerkimball]

Brasso might achieve the same results, but Bar Keeper's Friend does a great job. Thanks for watching!

I am thinking about selling my old Pearl World Series drums but just the shells only with the tom holders. No pedal, no throne, no hihat stand and no cymbals. Would it be better to pay out of pocket to make it a fully functional kit and then sell it? If I did I would have to drop at least $300 into it.

[@christhedrummerkimball]

You should try selling just the shells first because unless you get a great deal on what is missing, you probably won't be able to recoup what you spend to get it where you need it to be. Generally, you can get more from selling cymbals and hardware individually than as a package deal, and the same goes for buying--if you buy separately and sell together you usually won't make money. Do the opposite, buy stuff all together and sell it separately, and you usually can show a profit, but it takes a lot more work.

@@christhedrummerkimball Thanks Chris. Truthfully I would be happy to give them to a hungry young drummer. It seems you like performing the restoration and tuning business on drums, it’s my least favorite part of being a drummer. Thanks again for the tip and I enjoy your videos.

[@christhedrummerkimball]

@@TheSPACEDIEVEST1 Thanks, and thanks for watching!

[@sticksbass]

do u rub that steel wool w water or dry?

[@christhedrummerkimball]

0000 dry. I'm not sure what would happen if you used it wet. It seems as if it might rust. Thank you for watching!
