Checking a Used Drum Kit
Every used kit is checked and serviced before sale. If you want to look closer yourself, these are the things to check.
-
Check the bearing edges are clean and even, because they decide how well a drum tunes.
-
Check the shells are round and free of cracks or lifting plies.
-
Look at the hardware, including lugs, mounts and the bass drum claws, for wear or missing parts.
-
Find out what is included, such as the full set of drums, hardware and any cases.
-
Ask about refinishes and re-wraps, which affect both value and originality.
