what can i ask for this Fibes Kit?

Loading...

Although those are nice drums, Fibes don't generally bring much on ebay, even newer Fibes kits are hard to sell. I would price that kit at between $500-$800, good luck.

A good wood Fibes kit with Jasper shells are much sought after.

Every time I gig with my 70 fibes fiberglass chrome set, I have drummers drooling over me, I must have 20 business cards from drummers that want to buy it, not interested in selling, side note, one guy offered me $1500 on the spot. I love these drums...........of course I have 4 other sets LOL Jump For Joy

Where in the world do you gig, the Modern Drummer Festival? I can't recall the last time a met a drummer at a gig, or any musician for that matter. Most gigging musicians don't have time to check out bands, because they are gigging themselves. That's my experience anyway.

I still don't think you can get more than $800, great drums, just not sought after, you'd be surprised at how many drummers never even heard of Fibes.

Fibes is sweet. Just bought Tillerva's crystalites. There's a huge following for these drums, at least around Texas. I've been searching for a decent crystalite set for 6 months, and they're all overpriced and few and far between.

I'm also wondering what kind of gigs you normally play, bc in the indie realm, it's common courtesy to watch all the acts on the bill lest you must be on the road for the next show. I make it a point to meet all the drummers on a bill that night just because it's advantageous for networking, but I may also be the youngest drummer on this forum.

Hey Yo, if you are the youngest, I'm the oldest, (58) but still playing, anyway, I just got back playing out and things are much different now that when I used to gig out..back in the days one band would play for 3 hours, or 3 sets, now my band plays usually one set, and we are on with 4-5 other bands a night, so its alot of staging, moving gear around and alot of time to talk to other drummers waiting, or just finished. Its a whole new scene for mee, but it works, because at my age if I had to play 3 sets when I get done the paramedics would have to move me from my kit LOL!!!!! anyway , I won't press the debate about fibes, they are great drums, and yes many drummers never heard of them but when they HEAR them they pay attention, and my chrome fibes looks awseome juder stage lights...........peace

to hear my band go here, you'll see why I wouldn't last 3 sets !!!!!!!!

I watched you video, very cool, except I kept waiting for the backup vocals after "I am the eggman".... "oooooo", "they are the eggmen"...."oooooo" and they weren't there. Also the "ho,ho,ho.... he,he,he....ha,ha,ha," part. None-the-less it was great, nice playing and the Fibes kit looked and sounded superb. What are the sizes? BTW, I'm 54 and I play in a classic rock cover band....three sets of non stop bashing.band3
