Left handed drums

Loading...

Are left handed drums worth more, less, or no difference?

Wow. I'm sorry.

Are you trying to say there is no such thing as a left handed drum set, because I just sold one.....

Please don't be insulted. I honestly thought this was a joke. We do play jokes on each other within this forum from time to time. Again, don't be insulted. It just cracked me up and thought someone was getting something on a member.

I don't believe I'm going to say anything about it. What I will do is ask you how you distinguished this particular set as a left handed model? That would be the genesis of this ... line.

I am with McJ, how does one distinguish such sets????

I'm thinking.... so please excuse me from the get-go.....

For badged toms on post mounts, you would have to turn the toms badge inwards ( I know, no biggie ).

If the mounts allowed for a flip, then mufflers would be on bottom, and badges upside down.

For a rail mount, it would probably work better for lefties if placed right-of-center on the bass.

Would that be right?..... left.... backwards.... aw heck, learn to play righty you lefty freaks!! Ringo did, kinda....

Exactly...on a double tom set up for rogers... the logos will be on the wrong side of the drum. In the 70's they started to put logos on both sides of the drum to make them more "universal". On a single tom set up, the collet will be on the opposite side toward the center when you orient the bass drum logo forward. The knobbie for cymbal will also be on the wrong side, but down lower. . My question was there are obviously less of these, but does that make them more valuable or just harder to sell? Mark in San Diego

If they were put that way from the factory, then that would infer a bit of left-handedness. Intriguing. My guess is these would just be a bit more difficult to sell. I can't imagine there would be an increase in market value. Sort of like the left-handed can opener. Rare for sure. Increased value? - questionable.
