Let me ask this are all the drums faded the same? also a re-wrapped drum will lose 30% to 40% of it's value, so if you are going to re sale them, you'll spend big bucks to do so to lose money in the end, if your going to keep them then you'll need to decide that one for yourself!

Thank you, that is pretty much the answer I was looking for. The fade is quite even on all three drums. I will leave the wrap as is. At this point I haven't decided whether to sell them or not.

What would command a better price, a complete kit with snare and hardware or the way the kit is now with no snare, stands or pedal? I'm trying to complete the kit but the ebay snipers are killing me on the flat base cymbal stands and L-arm.

A complete set would sell for more money,but it would cost alot of money to get the parts snare,stands 300.00+ in these things.So say you have 250.00 in the drums you have then add the 300.00+ for the stands ete..You may just want to sell the drums as they are..Mikey

Thanks Mikey, I have already acquired some of the parts to make the kit functional such as lugs, wing nuts, washers, screws, rubber tips, floor tom legs, T-rods and bass drum claws. I've also picked up a flat base snare stand and a 1123-1 hi-hat stand.

The kit needs a few more items to finish it off, mainly two B/O pointy badges with grommets and a 14" 6 ear hoop.
