Hi guys, I got a tama starclassic performer drum set that i want to sell off but I'm not so sure how much to sell it for. The drums are 1 year old which is consider quite new as u can see in the pictures below. I bought it for RM10500 from bentley.

Star-cast mounting system
die cast zinc hoops
sliding tom holder base.
Made in Japan
Birch shells

The hardware are all roadpro series which consists of,

1 hihat stand
1 snare stand
1 boom stand
1 straight stand
1 iron cobra kick drum pedal.

So just ask for the pricing adivce and not asking for buyers. Ok ?

as far as i know, drum prices drop alot once theyre used (unlike guitars) even though its still in a good condition and about a year old. i might be wrong though
you can try listing at about 60% to 70% of the price, see if there are interested parties.

I think you wouldn't have any problems selling it at around RM7k...

yeah, juz asking bout the pricing and then will post it at garage sales when i want to sell it.

my guess.. more whacking and slamming

I think 7k will be reasonable, but would buyers rather buy a new drum kit than to buy mine?? and wif 7k u can get a new drum kit and probably good cyambals too.

Added on July 15, 2007, 12:26 amwhacking and slamming are only on drum heads what. Drum heads are changeable and I would be very kind to change the drum heads if the buyer insists of new ones.

So you'll need to emphasize more on the word "Starclassic"!

Good cymbals ain't cheap too, the basic crash, ride and hats plus some extra hardware would be around RM2~3k already. Can't really buy a highend drumset like yours with RM4k.

Maybe your target buyers would be semi-professional to professional players? A Starclassic at RM6~7k is really a good buy.

All the best!

Yeah, i should emphasize more on the 'starclassic' word. haha!!!

With 7k u could buy a superstar and some cymbals which u said 2-3k and when u total it up, I dont think it will even reach 7k. Well, I think that if u are good in ur playing, u will certainly careless of what kind of drums u're playing on and it's all depends on fine tuning and ur good playing.

Once again thanks for ur feedback.

Guys, what do u think of the drum colour??

Well as I know, Tama Starclassic is a bencmark model from Tama... no wonder if the price is too high for some

Yup, some models are pretty expensive.

Is it just me, or the color looks a little bit faded?

BTW, the new Warlord limited edition set is just freaking awesome!

"no man..it's custom faded"

sry..out of topic..i wonder any1 know wat's the price for Sabian Hand-Hammered & HHX cymbal set(hi-hat,crash,ride)

My drummer just bought a similar set for RM1,500. Hand-hammered ride, HHX stage hats, and an AAX crash.

last time i was thinking of getting the Zildjian K custom 20" ride cymbals..but the price was killing..it cost 2k

the colour is sunset fade btw!!
