Hmpf. No wing nuts, felts or rubber feet mentioned in the 187 pieces? Are they not included? And I thought the Phoenix-based CL posts were suspect. Must be the humidity........we miss that, here.Cooked Egg

Channel Elvis? Um.....hmm. I'm getting something here....wait! Please don't tell me to burn them and then rub the ashes of the floor-tom on my forehead. I tired that once.......once! I did not see the future..... Also, a glimpse into the future should not cost $36K. A buck three-80, tops.

I love these ads. The guy is really getting in to letting those idiots have it. I have seen some ads that just boggle the mind, and apparently this guy is tired of seeing them in his CL pages. And really, he probably would sell his stuff for that. I wonder who he is, because that is no mere hobbyist drummer, with all that crap to tote around, he is a pro.....

Someone should tell the poster that about 96% of all drums made since the beginning of the 20th century are plywood.......DOH

Guys, don't you get it? This guy is mocking those who think their Chinese crap is actually worth more than it is. And he is trying to get thru to someone that the stands, "thrown", "simbols", extra t-rods and "pedols" are not counted towards the net drum set. Have you not seen those CL Chinese wonders that are listed as 17 pc sets? I have, and just roll my eyes in astonishment. I think he did a great job on this ad, and I wish some of the idiots with those $400 wonders would get a clue. And I am pretty sure he knows drums are plywood, unless aluminum, brass, steel, fiberglass or some other material is used in the constuction of his drums. Look at the collection that guy has, I say again, he is a pro, not some knee slappin' fool with stix taped to his paws. Read it again, he is making fun of ignorance and stupidity. I have a motto I live by: "Ignorance may be overcome through education, stupidity, however, is a life-long endeavor". He is trying to cure a little ignorance. Cool Dude

Ok for the umpteenth time. When you post a drum kit on here for sale you only count the number of DRUMS in the kit's size. Five drums= 5 pc kit. I know some of you want to believe your plywood kit is worth something and you have to "buff" it up some to make it sound better than the plywood it is made out of, but don't. Just be honest. I will now demonstrate MY kits just to show you how ridiculous it would be on a real drum kit. Here goes... better buckle up for this...

FOR SALE! 187 PIECE VINTAGE PEARL MLX DRUM KIT IN PEARLS FAMOUS #110 SEQUOIA RED COLOR! ALL MAPLE DRUMS! 187 PIECES!!!!!! DRUM SIZES ARE 8,10,12,13,14,15,16 RACKED, AND 18 FLOOR. TWO 24" KICK DRUMS! ONE 8" DEEP PEARL FF SNARE IN BRASS, ONE 6" DEEP FF PEARL SNARE IN CHROME, ONE 5" LEGEND FF SNARE IN NATURAL MAPLE, ONE 8" GREEN DW SNARE. 22 OF PEARLS HEAVIEST CYMBAL STANDS, 3 EXTENDED BOOM TOM ARMS, A TON OF SHORT CYMBAL ARMS, MULTIPLE SNARE STANDS, TWO PEARL RACKS, SINGLE AND DOUBLE KICK, 2 AKG D112 KICK MICS AND A TON OF ASSORTED OTHERS. ONLY A FRACTION OF THE THINGS INCLUDED ARE SHOWN IN THIS PICTURE. 4 DW 5000 TURBO KICK PEDALS, ONE DOUBLE KICK PEDAL, CASES FOR MOST OF THE DRUMS, AN ATA FLIGHT CASE FOR THE CYMBALS, AND THE ONES I CANT CRAM IN ARE IN A CYMBAL BAG. ALSO AM INCLUDING A ZILDJIAN CYMBAL STAND RIGHT OUT OF A MUSIC STORE FOR YOUR DISPLAYING PLEASURE!!

BUT WHAT ABOUT CYMBALS YOU SAY?? ONLY THE BEST I SAY!! 2 PAIR OF SOUND EDGE HI HATS , 8 RIDE CYMBALS... ALL 22 INCH EXCEPT FOR ONE, AND A CRAP TON OF CRASH AND SPLASH CYMBALS. BUT WAIT! NONE OF THAT BULL**** CRAP LIKE ZBT OR 302 OR B8... NO SIR NOT MY STUFF!! ONLY THE BEST, SUCH AS ZILDJIAN A AND DYNA RIDE, SABIAN AA AND AAX, AND PAISTE'S IN 2000, MOST SOUND REFLECTION, 2002, SIGNATURE AND ONE 3000 22" POWER RIDE!!

STILL NOT ENOUGH?? WELL HOW ABOUT THIS?? ACT NOW AND BUY THE ABOVE AND I WILL THROW IN MY 18 PIECE PDP X-7 KIT!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?? IT IS SHOWN BELOW IN THE SINGLE PEARL RACK MENTIONED ABOVE!! YOU GET EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON THE RACK IN THE PICTURE AND THEN SOME. EVEN THE DRUM RUG!

ALSO YOU GET THE HYDRAULIC THRONE TOO!! KEEPS YOUR TIGHT ASS SOFT!! LETS YOU PLAY ALL NIGHT LONG AND STILL FEEL LIKE SHAKING YOUR BOOTY LATER!!

SERIOUS ONLY, NO CHECKS OR BS. JUST DEAD PRESIDENTS ON THE TABLE!!.

SO.. you see how stupid it can get? Try to just be honest and tell the truth and someone might buy that plywood thing you call a "kit".

and for the record if you want all my stuff, you can buy it for that. The kit was on the cover of Pearl's Catalog in 1987, the green cover with my red kit.

I did read it, and I do understand that he is mocking, but THE POSTER OF THE AD is the one who kept saying "plywood crap"......like I stated, most drums are plywood since the beginning of the last century, not all but most. The guy made fun of all those other rediculous ads, yes. BUT, he undid himself as sounding like he knew what he was talking about by stating "I know some of you want to believe your plywood kit is worth something and you have to "buff" it up some to make it sound better than the plywood it is made out of, but don't."

:confused::confused::confused:

SOME plywood drums ARE worth a fortune! For example: vintage Ludwig, vintage Gretsch, vintage Sonor, vintage Rogers, vintage Leedy, vintage Slingerland...........shall I go on? :D
