Is it worth the time?

Stencil set on CL sacramento, I'm trying not to buy it, it's the last thing I need.

http://sacramento.craigslist.org/msg/3646002282.html

I already have 2 20" Stewart red sparkle bass drums and a 8x12 with no wrap, I could have this set up and running in an afternoon, but for what?

I would pick it up for the asking price.With alittle work and a few missing parts still a good price..Just make sure that the floor tom is not a 7 Lug drum,i can't tell by the photo.Some of these set's were made with 7 lugs not 6.If its a 7 lug tom fineing a rim will be hard to do.....Mikey

If you don't need another kit, you can fix it up and donate it to School or a Youth Center.

That's a good point, I would have been stoked to have a set like this at my elementary school. Can't believe I'm so self centered. I'll see maybe if its still available tomorrow.

Oh, heck yes...

Fix it up, donate it, sell it, give it to the kid down the street, keep it...

Anytime we are presented with an opportunity to return something to viability, for so few bucks... yeah.

Those thin shells with re-rings sound GREAT!

I had a great day! Instead of sleeping in and wasting the day, I got up at 8 and I had all my slacking done by noon!

I only wish they were local

I would be all over them if they were

The bass drum looks a little rough but the mounted tom looks good

for having no head on it ...I am living the seven lug floor tom nightmare right now but even with that considered I would not be able to resist buying them.

I concur. For the paltry sum and minor resto work needed, it would be a shoe-in for a donor kit. And those 3 ply shells can make big boom!
