Greetings. While decidedly not vintage, I thought I would venture out and ask you guys if you would have an opinion on the sale value of this drum kit since you are the only experts I really have contact with these days. It is a 2006 Pearl Sessions Custom with maple shells. 22" kick, 10-12-14-16 toms. The drums were purchased for a single tour that ran for three months in 2006. They were transported in custom ATA style trunks so they were very well cared for. After that they have been in storage and then for the last 12 months have been on loan to friend so his son would have something on which to practice. The finish is really very attractive with only a few minor nicks or scuffs.
The kick drum, while having only 8 lugs, is hands down the best sounding kick I own. I do not know what the deal is with that except that it appears Pearl left a little additional wood on the top of the bearing edge to increase the amount of wood contact on the head. Regardless, the kick drum sounds fantastic. It always sounds to me like you are hearing and feeling a kick drum back through you audio monitors even though it is not mic'd up.
I am going to put this up on CL as soon as I determine a value. I greatly appreciate your time.
