How much did you pay for your kit?

[A_Guy]

Hopefully this will benefit me and others saving up for their own kit.
I'm just wondering how much money you guys have spent so far on your current kit. Just post a pic of your kit, and specs, and say how much it was worth.

[Brokensticks]

My 5 piece standard rock sizes Sonor Force 3005 kit was 1150$ish Canadian.

Add to that my current range of cymbals (with more to come) worth over $6,000AU and Damo is glad that he gets this stuff cheap!

My kit is OLD to start off with. Anyways, I got the basic 5-piece (unsure of the make except the snare, which is a Tama Swingstar) with an old Ludwig pedal, a crappy hi-hat stand, the 14" Westbury hats, 18" Zildjian Scimitar crash/ride, 18" Sabian B8 crash/ride, and an old crappy pair of of DX hi hats (which I have now warped into mini-chinas ^_^) for $230 Canadian.

Of the stuff I've bought myself, the moto-style Gibraltar throne was $40 Canadian, the DW 7002 $265, and the Ludwig hi-hat stand was $80.

Eh... all I know is I'm saving up to get a Sonor 3005 and AAX cymbal pack. If I basically put everything away I'll have enough next summer. ^_^

Nah. I get a lot less than what some people get for their birthdays and christmas. I've had 3 birthdays and 2 Christmases while playing drums, so it's about $300 each.

And i'm going to get a job soon, so i'll start buying things, but that doesn't mean that my parents won't still buy me stuff for my birthday/christmas.

[Chippy569]

last christmas i got a pair of t-shirts and a book.

if i got $300 of stuff per christmas plus birthday.... i'd be out driving, not drmming.

just hope you learn to appreciate what you have.


i live in a "rich" suburb... you know, business people parents of a single child. my school parking lot is full of lexuses and escalades, which mommy and/or daddy bought for their oh-so-special kid. these kids are the ones that get everything handed to them... but what happens when mommy and daddy kicks 'em out? they're ****ED!

don't be like that, i like you.

[crazyguy832]

^^^
I agree fully. I absolutely HATE pampered kids.

I get a good amount of money from my parents, but at the very least I earn it (~15 hours/month working with two high needs foster kids) unlike most of these kids who just get everything they want without abandon. I've paid for 95% of my drum supplies AND I'm paying for my lessons.

Kids need to learn early to be self-reliant and earn their cash.

[Cocaberry]

Kids need to learn early to be self-reliant and earn their cash.

Hell yeah. I hate spoiled kids.

Theres this spoiled kid I know that tries to brag or show off what he's got when his parents handed it all to him. That totally pisses me off.

[Sean]

just hope you learn to appreciate what you have.

I don't get an allowance, either. But then again i don't do any chores or anything to deserve it, so it works out. My parents do usually pay for me to go out to eat or to go bowling, things like that though.

How are the starclassics?

[Zildjian]

just hope you learn to appreciate what you have.


i live in a "rich" suburb... you know, business people parents of a single child. my school parking lot is full of lexuses and escalades, which mommy and/or daddy bought for their oh-so-special kid. these kids are the ones that get everything handed to them... but what happens when mommy and daddy kicks 'em out? they're ****ED!

don't be like that, i like you.

Same here man..I inherited my grandfathers buick century because he passed away. It was pretty much the only big thing i ever got. Im working a ****ty restaurant where I have to wash dishes by hand. Work in a unairconditioned stock room at office depot,

but coming home to almost my dream drum set, dont have to cry that i have no money is so worth it. (and i get to keep my g/f happy that we can actually go places)

same here, bud... same here.

[Electric Requiem]

My parents chose having a nice house over having nice stuff in the house, and now the house is worth more then triple what they paid for it 9 and a bit years ago, so it totally worked out.

As for working, Im getting my new drums tonight instead of tomorrow, they will be max 1650 CAD (theyre used, so Im obviously going to barter)with a bunch of extras. I will post pics if I can tonight, otherwise tomorrow.

EDIT:
6 piece Taye Studio Maple

[Chippy569]

i'm so excited to see your taye! i love love love tayes

[Electric Requiem]

it should be pretty much the same as dillengerescp's one, theyre both six piece indigo studio maples

My Sonor 2001 was $650, and my ride, hi-hats, and crash bundled together were $300 (wuhan hats and ride, and an istanbul crash). Since then, I have bought a AA crash ($138), New Beats ($250), some stands and plenty of heads.

Just the stands and the gear, my total is roughly $1400.

Oh yeah, I just put in an order for a 2002 crash off of mass music. So make that $1580.

Over $4000....the kit itself only cost $400

[Panopticon]

^^^
I agree fully. I absolutely HATE pampered kids.

I get a good amount of money from my parents, but at the very least I earn it (~15 hours/month working with two high needs foster kids) unlike most of these kids who just get everything they want without abandon. I've paid for 95% of my drum supplies AND I'm paying for my lessons.

Kids need to learn early to be self-reliant and earn their cash.

I've paid for everything on my drumset including transportation to and from the music store (city bus) Even when i bought my drumset, my parents payed for half, but then later on they said it was too loud and since it's half theirs they can get rid of it so i payed them back the other half.

[pitchfork]

I'm thinking of selling my kit soon to buy a different configuration but same shells and a different colour so this is what it is now.

Mapex M birch (rock sizes, natural) - £510
Hardware, somewere around £250-300 (upgraded all to pro level, road duty stuff, mapex xl-70 series)
Cymbals, all wuhans came to around £380-£400 I think (mix of trad and s series 8" and 12" splashes, 20" and 12" chinas, 16" and 18" crashes, 20" ride, 14" hats)
Percussion items (2 cheapo cowbells and a couple of cheapo jam blocks) - £50 ish
Heads £150 ish (full reskin)

£1330 total on average

I can't remember the actual prices though so thats an estimate.

[JIRONS]

PDP CX in silver sparkle off Ebay about 1 year ago.
10-12-14-16-22 & 14X5 for approx. $1100 USD shipped.

[pitchfork]

by the way, just ignore the spoiled kids, what are they going to do with their life? **** all because they don't know how to work hard.
Wheras kids that aren't spoiled will be successful to some extent.

I have never had pocket money, if I want to earn money I work, the most I get from my parents is food, clothes, a roof over my head and a good upbringing, I'm grateful for that.
You know what pisses me off, when kids say they are going to inherit their parent's business so they don't need good grades, what a load of ****.

[Pauly]

Shell pak was around 2g's... cymbals / harware, all told I'd guess around 5 - no more than 6.

[Panopticon]

What are the shells?

[jalel]

Kinda off topic, but I'm thinking about getting a Sonor 3005 with a 20" bass and an 18" bass as well as 10" 12" 14" and 16" toms. Probably gonna cost a lot ($2,500 or more once I get cymbals and hardware). Oh well, big upgrade from my Rockstar Custom that's for sure. Might sell my current kit to help pay for the new one.....

[Panopticon]

You'd be surprised at how little an upgrade it will be...Rockstar Customs are pretty nice sets.

[jalel]

^maybe the newer superstars. I got my rockstar custom back when it was made of philippine mahogany. I think maple might be more than just a little better wood.........

[Kenny_Fever]

I paid $80 CDN for my kit.

yep, some guy had left it in a storage place for too long, and so they started selling his stuff off. My dad's friend had connections, so we got it for cheap.

It's an old Pearl kit, an Export, I think, I'm not sure, and I think it was made sometime in the 70's

The kit consists of

14" x 22" bass
8" x 12" tom
9" x 13" tom x2
14" x 14" floor tom
5" x 15" Premier snare
plus a really old Zildjian crash

and that's what I got with it

My good friend/old old drummer gave me his old hi-hats, but I am still sans ride. I should be getting one soon, however.

http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i215/Kenny_Fever/WaltzDizzy020.jpg

in that picture, that's basically my kit with my old drummer's crash, ride, snare and hi-hats.

As you may or may not be able to tell, drums are not my main instrument, although I've been playing them a little bit here and there for almost a year now, and I'm actually playing drums in a band now

Is that an old Slingerland kit? Because I think I have the same one, I got it from my uncle.
EDIT: Yeah, just read the post, nevermind
