  1. This is really just to gauge interest. I have two Tama Superstar Custom kits that could possibly be for sale. The finish is Titanium Fade.
    The details of the two kits are below. I don't know the tom depths off the top of my head. Note this is not the newer Hyperdrive model.

    The kits are in pretty good condition. There are some minor cosmetic marks on the toms and kicks, along with the usual marks on the kick drum hoops associated with the pedal clamping on. I have tried hard to take good care of them in the time I've had them and the reason I'm possibly looking to sell is that I'd like to have smaller and shallower toms.

    I got offered £350 for each kit by a well-known shop in England, so I'm basically testing the water to see if anyone on here is interested.

    Kit 1

    Kick: 22"x18" (drilled)
    Tom 1: 10"
    Tom 2: 12"
    Tom 3: 14"

    Kit 2

    Kick 22"x18" (drilled)
    Tom 1: 12"
    Tom 2: 13"
    Tom 3: 16"

    I have a Tama Superstar snare (14" x 5.5") that came with the kit and I also have a Mapex Black Panther Deep Forest snare (Walnut shell). Buyer's preference.

    Any questions, let me know!

  2. Hi Scotty,

    Yea I like Toms, the kits are good there. You normally get a nice Tama or Yamaha or something along those lines. To be honest, when I've been to MV in the past the kits have been awful. Generally I don't care how it sounds, but when none of the hardware works, the floor tom collapses and the heads look like a lunar landscape, it's not ideal. Frankly I can't believe they actually charge people money to use them.

    The problem I was trying (and potentially failing) to describe, was just the time it takes to set up cymbal stands, cymbals, kick pedals, laptop etc. Since the stuff I'm writing for the album is quite demanding for me, it takes a while to actually get warmed up and by the time you factor in set up and pack up time (that takes approximately one hour in total), it's really not effective to at a place like Toms. Which is unfortunate cos they're a decent bunch of guys, their place is cool and they do 3 hours for 2 at certain times.

    Unfortunately there's not enough space in my room to swing a cat, never mind have an electronic/mesh head kit :p I did once try the mesh head/DIY E-drum thing and it worked quite well with the exception of the kick drum mesh head breaking after about 1 day due to the practice being pretty double kick heavy!

  3. Being a drummer with no space in the house for a kit (and one particular a$$hole neighbour!), I'm finding it hard to get some decent practice in. Captain Tom's is great, but by the time I've got my gear set up and got warmed up, it's time to pack up and leave. It doesn't result in effective practice given I need to record an album soon.

    Some other people must have had this problem... Any solutions (other than "book a longer practice")? For example does anyone know of lockup type places? I remember being at a place at Shore Porters about 10 years ago, but I emailed them and they said they no longer offer spaces like that.

  4. I've got a Digitech Death Metal guitar pedal for sale because I haven't used it for a while.

    Comes in original box.

    Sells for £40 online

    Selling mine for £25

    I also have an Alesis DM5 drum module for sale.

    It has its original power supply and instruction manual.

    It has 12 inputs, MIDI functions and great built in, customisable sounds.

    Perfect for someone who is looking to expand their set up.

    They cost about £180 new, so I'm selling mine for £100.

    I also have a couple of Yamaha drum and cymbal pads for sale TP65 and PCY65.

  5. I'm selling my Alesis DM5 drum module because I haven't found use for it in a while.

    It works perfectly, has some pretty good sounds built in.

    It has 12 inputs, which is more than other modules that usually only have 8 which is pretty useless unless you have a basic set up. The additional inputs allow you to expand your kit if you want to.

    Comes with original power supply.

    One of the rack mounting parts has cracked, but it's only one out of four and it still can be mounted solidly in a rack.

    £110

  7. Stagg CYB-10 soft cymbal case.

    Has separate spaces for 4 cymbals up to 22" in diameter in the main pocket.

    Also has individual spaces for another 4 cymbals up to 14" in diameter in a pocket on the front, so perfect for hi hats and splash cymbals.

    I've got 3 of these. I had 4 but I'm using one of them as it's brilliant for taking cymbals to practice with minimum faff.

    Great idea for a Christmas present.

    ONLY £10 each

    PM or email (drummerdick_82@hotmail.com)

  8. I've got a Pearl DR-80 Drum Rack for sale. Looking to sell it for spare parts as I don't have the legs for it, I've just got the square tubing that sits on the legs horizontally and holds all the cymbal arms and tom mounts. Ideally I would like to sell it to someone who wants to expand their drum rack or needs some parts since these parts will fit on to other Pearl racks.

    I'll sell the three square parts for £50 (or offers for them individually).

    There are 7 PC-10 clamps and 1 PC-5 clamp.

    £10 each for the PC-10 clamps and £8 for the PC-5 clamp

  9. I’m selling my 17” Paiste Reflector Signature Heavy Full Crash because the rest of my crashes are from the 2002 range and I want to have a more consistent sound. I’ve had the Signature crash for about a year now and have taken good care of it. It sounds awesome and you can hear it on the Paiste website. (Just scroll along to the reflector heavy full crash).

    http://paiste.com/e/cymbals.php?category=2&family=3&action=category&menuid=239

    It has two small scratches on the top surface which are purely cosmetic and are too small and insignificant to even see on a photo. I think they were caused by someone taking my cymbals off my stands as I was setting down after playing a gig and not being careful where he put them.

    I paid £230 for it a year ago and they cost over £250 now:

    http://www.rockemmusic.com/product/paiste-17-signature-reflector-heavy-full-crash-cymbal-psigrfh17

    http://www.drumshack.co.uk/buy/1541/0/5631/Paiste%20Signature%20Reflector%20Crash%20#17%22%20SIGNATURE%20REF%20HEAVY%20FULL%20CRASH

    I'm selling it for £140 since it is in good condition, hasn't seen excessive use and I take care of my cymbals.

    PM or email me (drummerdick_82@hotmail.com) for more information or to arrange a viewing.

  10. I've got the following gear for sale. All of it is new, in its original packaging and has never been used. Only taken out of packaging for pictures to be taken.

    * Pacific PDP (PDHH920) Hi Hat Stand , brand new in box.

    Top range of PDP's hardware. They go for £70 + delivery online, so about £30 cheaper than buying online.

    Looking for £45.

    * Pacific PDP (PDPSS900) Snare Stand, this is also brand new in its box.

    Again, it's from PDP's top hardware range, so it's totally solid and very reliable.

    Looking for £35.

    (This hardware is so good that I was actually considering

    replacing my current hi hat stand and snare stand with these ones)

    * Stagg electric guitar soft case. It's got straps to carry on your back,

    loads of padding for protection, loads of pockets and space for storage

    and also it looks cool.

    Looking for £10.

    * Stagg CYB-10 Cymbal Case (soft). This cymbal case is great,

    I took one on tour with me last week in addition to my hardcase.

    It's got space for 4 cymbals in the main pocket (up to 22" diameter)

    and in the front pocket it's got space for another 4 cymbals (up to 14" in diameter).

    So it can easily accommodate a full set of cymbals.

    It's got a strong carrying handle and it can be carried on your back

    or over your shoulder too. Very sturdy cymbal bag, sells for £25 before delivery online.

    Looking for £15.

    (I've got 3 of these for sale)

    *Stagg K10-138 keyboard case. Brand new soft keyboard case by Stagg.

    Still in original packaging, internal dimensions are: 138 x 30 x 14 (cm).

    This is the second biggest soft keyboard case that Stagg make.

    I'm not sure what size keyboard the bag can accommodate in terms of number

    of keys, but the dimensions are there anyway. These sell for £25 before delivery online.

    Looking for £15.

    There's pictures up of the gear in old posts about it, but if you can't find them and want to see them, then PM me and I'll send you them.

    Dick
