It's definitely paint, not wrap. Another photo shows some scrapes in the finish. Also, does look like a 24" kick to you? The toms look like 13, 16.

Question Small snare drum

Im looking for a small snare drum (preferably 10x4 cause it's the one that'll fit best) for my compact kit. Any reccomendations for what snare I should buy?

Question 1977 Yamaha 7000 Brown Silk Drums (24/18/14/13)

13 Upvotes

September of 1977 Made in Japan Yamaha 7000 in Brown Silk finish. First ones of the 7000 being made with mufflers.

24,18,14,13 sizes - all made in september of 1977 (NP serial number).

This are play grade drums that suffered some neglecting but were made to be played again.
Some replaced parts and some rust and pitting.

Thinking of selling them.
What do you think they are worth?

Rant A beautiful 60 second Steve Gadd masterclass in groove and feel.

“Feel” can seem like a vague, arbitrary musical term.

Gadd’s unmistakable playing defines it. This isn’t a super complicated drum part, but to make it sound and “feel” the way Steve Gadd can… It’s beyond difficult.

If you’re a seasoned player - this record is a hidden Gadd gem!

If you’re a newer player - listen to the albums Steve Gadd played on. His playing is so unique and unbelievably creative, he is easily one of the best to ever do it. Countless artists used him, and some of the most iconic drum tracks ever came from him.

Question Pearl Wild 900 15” hats

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

i’ve bought a drum kit solely because i saw a steel free floating snare drum and it was too good to pass.

It came with these hats, which i know they are “Pearl Rudes” but i can’t seem to find 15” hats anywhere on the web.

Can you help me access its rarity and possibly how much they are worth?

I’m selling them since i don’t need them!

If not, how can I fix them. Been playing drums for nearly a year but never had lessons or bothered learning things like parasites or triplets or whatever: can’t read music either. Normally just play what sounds good lol

This thing sounds awesome. I've now got a samsun, a zilzen/turkish, and a mehteran. These turkish handmade cymbals are just outstanding. I love my k's and stuff, but this is just so buttery and musical.

Question 2nd hand Paiste 2002 classic 20" ride, good deal?

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Recently came across a 2nd hand 2002 20" ride for €239.99 and figured I'd ask here in case some kind strangers had some good advice.

I know the pictures aren't great but there was no cracks visible, few smudges but nothing a quick clean wouldn't fix, bell seems to be in perfect condition too.

I'm currently playing a full set of Pst7 heavies and want to stick with paiste so I think it's a logical step and could save a handy €120 compared with the price for a brand new one. Any thought on the price/deal or how it would fit into my current set up would be much appreciated!

Is this deal worth it at all?

$650 I don’t know much about dw I know they’re generally expensive but these seem a little rough. I think the badge says they’re all maple and he said small sizes so I’m guessing 18 inch kick.

Question New Drums Day! I have a couple of questions about what i got.

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

Got this for 300e today. Used of course.

I mainly went for it for the 3 cymbals, but I couldn't find much about the specific model of the kit. Outside of one Tama Rockstar tom there's a Premier kick and two toms.

The cymbals are Zildjian K Dark Crashes, 15" and 17".

In total there's:

- A Premier kit with two toms

- A tama rockstar tom

- Peace snare

- Meinl Roman Mark 70 hi hats, from when Germany was still "West Germany",

- Zildjian K 15" and K 17" Dark Crash Thins, from id say 90s or earlier

- some Pearl hardware and a Ludwig hi hat stand

- Meinl Stick bag

1) Do you think that was a steal or what its worth?

2) Can anyone help me identify what kind of model the premier is, or in fact anything about it really?

3) Any info on the Meinl hats? Couldn't clearly find what they're even supposed to be made of.

4) Any ideas on the snare? I dont think it sounds great but that could be the old head and the fact it seriously needs tuning.

5) Any way to find out if the hardware is good quality or not? Just curious if it'd be better to keep these or brand new Millennium stands i bought a few months ago, in terms of longevity.

6) Any way to repair the crack appearing on the underside of the 17" K?

7) If that was a good deal and I were to resell it, ballpark what you think value would be?

I hope thats not too many questions!

I'm really looking forward to having time to actually try it out properly tomorrow.
