Hello again drum folks, I found these two badly hurting drum kits
The slings were stripped of wraps, sanded, stained, and polyed, then negelected for twenty five years ,
the Sonor tear drop kit is more original but equally hurting they have been stored together in a basement
I can buy them both as shown for three hundred dollars
I would on one hand hate to leave them behind but on the other as the title reads how far gone is too far ??? Kenwood
a few others of the group
Time, patience, and a few bucks will bring them back to life, or at least breathing again. I hope you don't do what so many do and that's consider them worthless and give them away to some parts ***** who has no compassion for these fine drums.
I would take a chance on that. Chrome over brass Slingy worth $200.00 by itself.
Slingy's look to be early 70's. Also a rewrap for them.
Sonor bass. That looks like mold in the inside. can be taken care of if no rot threw.
Also I love the tear drops.
For what it's worth, I'd probably try to get him down a little... maybe offer him $200 and see what happens. But if that fails I would strongly consider $300 anyway...
The hardest parts to find on Teardrops is tom rims. Looks like those are there. Worth the $300. The Sonors are worth that by themselves. Go for it if you have the time to work on them.
Those look pretty nice for 3 bills. You can easily sell 1 off to help pay for them. And keep the one that interests you the most. Or fix up and keep them both. :D Hurry~!
As usual though, I'm sure they look worse in person than they do in the photos.
+1 on everything said so far. Personally I wouldn't be able to resist...:)
