Worth it?

[jking3002]

I'm looking for a practice set for my house. Would a used Pearl Export (5 piece, fusions sizes, with Sabian B8's, stands, and throne) be worth $400?

[Panopticon]

depends on quality...but i wouldnt reccomend it

[jking3002]

Anyone else have any input?

[PandaDrummer]

no, definately not

you could buy all that brand new at that cost

I personally dont think its a bad price at all. As long as the condition of it isnt that bad.

What cymbals?

[aznriceball]

pay 300, and get 40USD and refinish it. yess

[jking3002]

Ummm the cymbals would be sabian b8's medium 14" hh, 16" crash, and 20 inch ride, also this set comes with a 20 inch wuhan china and a pacific double pedal (seeing if i can also get the pearl stock single pedal too) Personally, I'm leaning towards getting it, i mean its a pretty nice intro/practice set for around 400 bucks.....

Id say go with it, cymbals, double pedal, and drums for 400, is good, no matter what condition lol, well not really, but that sounds really good

I don't think 400 is so bad.. it wouldn't be the best kit & cymbals, but for that complete setup it seems like a pretty good deal for a practice kit. the next step up (kit & cymbals) would probably total ~$800 brand new....which I'd definitely recommend to a starter kit....but if you really don't have that extra money, then it seems like a pretty good deal to me.

[jking3002]

Yeah, I looked it all up on Musicians friend and new it would be about 1100 (with all the extras). So, I go to check them out this weekend, if they are in good shape, I'm going to go for it, if not, then I'll shop around more...

not too bad. id get it if its just for an in home practice kit.

[DuckinFutch]

damn....

that's so much nicer than my real kit...

I feel ashamed...
