    Default Super sweet gear score!!

    Just wanted to share a sweet score o made today on some gear. Found this garage sale type thing (they buy storage units and sell the contents). Their CL add said they had drums so I figured I'd check it out. I got there and found a PDP LX kit in padded cases, no PDP snare but it had an OCDP 15 ply (I believe) vented maple snare with it. They also had a Pearl firecracker snare and a DW snare stand. All the stuff is in decent shape, just dirty, the kick and toms 10", 12", 14" and 22x20, are in reasonably good shape just some minor dings and scratches. Picked it all up and took it home for $120. I'd say that's a pretty good haul. Got the snares cleaned up (those and the DW stand are all I really wanted cause I have my Concept Maple) will be cleaning the kick and toms up tomorrow for hopefully a quick resale to get my money back. Of course there are pics for your viewing pleasure

    That looks like a very good deal. Even with dings and scratches that still looks like a good set of drums.

    Wow. Those appear to be the made-in-Mexico shells. You basically bought a DW Performer kit for $120.

    Thanks guys. I was pretty surprised that 1) I found this deal and 2) my wife was actually ok with it, even she knew it was a good deal. Lol

    I forgot to ask, I need batter head recommendations for the OCDP snare. I'm going to run pure sound 20 strands on it with a Hazy 300 but I'm not sure what I should run as a batter head. I'm sure I'll have to play around with heads and tuning but some recommendations to start with would be great. Looking for a warm dry sound

    So here is the PDP kit all shined up, I can believe the about of duct tape that was stuck to the heads, shells, hoops, bass drum spurs and tom holder but with some bar keepers friend on the chrome stuff and some Mothers carneuba cleaner wax on the shells this think sparkles like it is brand new. Put some Evans G2 clear batters and old factory pearl reso heads on the toms, a used but good SK2 batter and a factory PDP clear reso on the kick. It sounds great and if I didn't already have my Concept Maple I'd probably keep it. Just put it on CL so hopefully I'll sell it soon.

    As for the OCDP snare, I put a Genera Dry over Hazy 300 with pure sound snares, OMG it is SO LOUD!!! I was able to get the sound I was looking for out of it, tuned kinda low, nice dry sound.

    I hate to say it.......being a brand new Concept Maple owner myself....but from what I'm told, those are better drums than the Concepts. Basically DW's sold under the Pacific name. I would be tempted to keep them and sell the Concepts. Or better yet, keep both!

    Haha I'd love to keep both but I promised my wife that I would sell them and recoup the money and then some. And I just cant get rid of the concepts, kind of an emotional attachment to them as they're the first brand new kit I've owned and I gave up something else that had alot of sentimental value to get them, plus I love them. Great sound, amazing cherry stain I just can't do it. Lol

    Thinking I might recoup the money by selling my breakbeats kit instead though

    Sick, sick deal. I bought a PDP CXR (rock sizes) about a week ago 12,14,16 and 24 virgin kick, ruby sparkle, in excellent condition with stands, for $200. I thought I made a steal, but kudos to you $120. You need to find an excuse to keep it now. I'm with N2 on this, they are the highest quality kits that PDP ever made. You and I are lucky dogs 😛

    Thanks Late8. I'm hoping it finds the right home at the right price. So far I've had 3 scammers contact me and someone else offer to trade me a guitar. If I was into guitar I might have entertained it but right now, cash talks but I'd be open to offers.
