Japan Acrylic Drum Kit Informaiton

Posts: 226 Threads: 113

Hey Guys,

Ran across a complete set of Werco Acrylic Drums in great condition. Comes with a 20" Bass, 13" Tom,

16" floor and matching snare. No cracks, dings or scratches (maybe a few minor) at all in the drums. The bass drum has acrylic rims and there is 1 small crack on the rim but can be hidden by the claws. Werco is Tama I think? The 13" tom mounts on a rail center of the bass drum. The bass drum has a bracket for a cymbal L-arm (which is included). Also, the lugs come to point on the bottom (kinda bullet type) and on the 13" tom only, the lugs are offset top & bottom. Like I said this set is complete and I have a copy of the orginal sales receipt. How much do you think this kit is worth? Is it rare to find a japan made acrylic kit? I have never seen one. Please give me some info so I can purchase soon if it's worth anything.

Thanks

I would say it's rare just because I've never heard of Werco. I knew Pearl made them, back in the day, but not Tama. The Pearl ones are rare. And they are sought after because of the seamless shells.

I don't know how sought after Werco is, just because I don't think a lot of people know about them. But vintage acrylics, complete and in good shape, are pretty collectible.

I would love to see some pics.

If insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results, is it insane to practice?

Those are Star (Tama) drums. Pretty cool too.

The Pearl CrystalBeats sound incredible.
