Canwood in blue with peal hardware in think, also 14x6.5 $300
Pearl Brass floating shell, a bit rusty $300
Sonor piccolo 14x3.5 1950-1960 era in red. no heads with Tama strainer. Has had a shell repair at some point. $300

The prices seem a bit high to me for the drums. Might be why no one is responding. I would recommend doing some research to align the prices with the market, as well as their condition. I would suggest using Reverb sale tool as well as look on eBay at the sold prices
Good luck

Thanks for your response. You seem to be right. I have had some offers and they are lower than my listed prices. I sold the Pearl for $250 pretty quick so i am going to drop the prices on the others and see what happens.
So, i sold two of them. I got $450 for the Ludwig coliseum. Brian Tichy from (whitesnake/Foriegner etc bought it so im stoked about that. He sent me a demo with it being used on his white luds. I never liked the drum as i found it far too loud for my small studio stuff. Brian is a real pounder so it will work great for him.
I also sold the Pearl brass shell for $250. Only 50 bucks less than what i asked for. A fellow by the name of Derrick from Centuries of Decay bought it. Great metal band!!
The Sonor piccolo i have decided to keep for now. Im going to do some work on it and get its value up a bit and try and sell it again for a little more money.
The Canwood drum im still selling but after talking with builder who is still making drums i have decided to raise the price on that one to $600-$700 as its pretty rare with an early serial.
I still have a pretty good arsenal of snare drums that i am keeping that i like and always seem to get picked for recordings.
Tempus 14x6 carbon with cast hoops is my fav and very versitile.
Ludwig Acrolite
Rogers Power tone metal shell
Ludwig Supraphonic
Yamaha Wood air seal-0 Cheap but awesome.
One drum i am looking for is a 1980 Cherry Gretch snare to go with my gretch kit.
