Selling drum kit gear - best platform?

Posted on
  • Hi all,

    I'm (very reluctantly) selling my drum kit. Would like to avoid eBay.

    Any good pointers for selling second-hand gear?

    rough Specs:
    Pearl Masters Maple series, 13/14/16/22
    Pearl Signature Steel Snare (chad smith)
    Sabian Pro Sonix cymbal set (hats, crash, ride)
    Tama Iron Cobra pedals (bass and hihats)
    Decent pearl stands

  • fb groups? think the biggest one is 'Buy, Sell, and Trade Drums in the UK (2)' - there might well be others specific to Pearl (I joined a Premier-specific one at some point).

    Might already know this, but just in case - splitting will likely make some bits shift quicker and you'll probably make a bit more money that way too.

  • I've used Reverb.com before (to buy). Music oriented sales platform and app.

  • cheers - good idea. Yeah, i was planning to split the parts for these reasons.

  • ah yeah, this too - i thought of this after posting. I'll take a look - fees seem a bit less than ebay. thanks

  • Have bought and sold lots of drum gear through that facebook bstduk group in the past. Never had any problems. Prices generally fair.

  • Reverb

  • What kind of price you looking for?

  • Facebook Marketplace is great and also Reverb.

    No fees on Facebook though and so many groups you can join for drums for sale etc.

  • Am I the only one that wants to see this drum set up

  • Sounds decent/probably sounds decent.

  • My 11yo just started drum lessons and I bought him an electronic kit & he's been practicing all half term - any recommendations for a Youtube channel for beginners? thanks

  • I guess it'll be somewhere in the region of 1500 for the lot. I've not broken it down yet to work it out.

  • Yeah, that would be ideal... its currently unassembled whilst I give it a good clean and polish

    The masters are emerald green lacquer, the snare is steel. Rest of it im sure you can guess.

  • I'm vaguely in the market for a drum kit. Could you PM me?
