I had a tear drop WMP a few years ago minus the snare drum and paid 500 for mine,and they were in great shape.They are wonderful sounding drums but todays market is different.If you JUST have to have them,then go for it...That appears to be a 20,13,16 combo??

Hit like you mean it!!

from looking at the snare,if it is a 14,the ft appears to be the same size,so if that is 12 14 18 bop kit ,if they exist, I can see it bringing close that kind of money,esp if it is in really good condition,with the hardware.I would consider that a desirable wrap esp with bop sizes.I could be wrong but I think if the kick is a 20 that price is very optomistic.But if that is your dream kit,besides the hh stand it is all there,I have heard that finding mounts and related parts can be tough,and expensive.

I bought a red ruby wrap 22-13-16 + some hardware for about $600 in Vancouver last year. Found the snare later for $350 on ebay. Total with 2 cymbal floor stands, bd cymbal holder, snare, hi-hat, and pedal totaled out at about $1200.

Think the price is a bit high unless they are rare sizes. Not many complete teardrop sets around, so might be worth it to you. If you want it, try to talk him down a bit. You never know. Cash in hand talks best.

Price is too high. I have a teardrop in rosewood that I would sell for less. With what I think might be the same snare.
