I have a blue sprkl 20,12,16,5,5 match,cast hoops,all original,dbl row of lugs,heavy drums i just love.My Zims are a joy to play but i only have about a third into mine...Not sure why his are priced so high...we should ask himParty

A uncle used to have a body and fender shop in that town.A lot of people grow their own weed up there.That set is worth exactly what you said,maybe 225 if I was completely in love with it.

Wow,600.00 for that set is way over priced..More like 150.00 would be the price...Mikey

I emailed the seller and gently told him the drums were worth much less than he was asking. Let's see what he says in reply.

I can imagine it will be very hard to replace that broken BD rim.

They,re very nice drums and sound great.The price needs to come into the 2-250 range though,i have a kit, i know what they are worth.

I had a Zim Gar kit also. The problem I found was sure, you could tune them to sound good, but go play a gig, and after 20 mins they are out of tune because of the cheapo hardware. Snare drums especially.

That being said, my first drum ever was a 1966 Zim Gar snare in Blue Sparkle which I still have and will always keep. I cant gig with it, but its my first drum of what has now been probably 100 or so.

Just for funzies... Here's the pix.

And the rest...

And the rest of the rest... whew!
