Hello everybody. I used to be a drummer but after a couple of years I moved to guitar. I sold my drum set. It has been about 5 years and I have been wanting to start playing the drums again. Now, I was just looking for some good deals on craigslist and I came across this one.
The ad reads
Drum set vintage 1961 sligerland 5 piece drum set with some symbols excellent for beginners or novice great sound! $250.00 firm
I was shocked when I read this so I called the guy up. He says it got it from a buddy of his who played jazz in the area. He had a studio and got a new set so his buddy sold it to him. He said it comes with hi-hats/stands and it is a black kit.
I know slingerlands are quality drums so I am ready to buy this if it is legitimate. I am going over there tomorrow with my friend who knows a lot more about drums than I do, and if it is good I am going to buy it.
Basically I am wondering if I just found a great deal and what I should look for when I check the set out?
Thanks alot,
Nick
